Abstract:

A superhighways spanning all of northern Greece - linking the port city of Igoumenitsa in the west to Turkey in the east - elevates an ancient trade route to modern design standards. Staggering in scope, the project includes more than 600 bridges, 77 tunnels, and extensive efforts to preserve environmental and archaeological treasures.
