The privatization of the national highway that connects Igoumenitsa in the Epirus region with Alexandroupolis in Thrace is part of the agreement with creditors. The announcement will be made in late September, during negotiations with creditors for the second bailout program review. The deal between a private company and the Hellenic Republic Assets Development Fund is for 40 years and the Greek State will be getting a percentage of the tolls. Currently, the Egnatia Odos annual revenues from tolls are 50 million euros.
