“Two economic areas that were previously almost completely separate
are now beginning to coalesce.”
Spyros Spyridon, General Secretary
for the region of western Greece
Some things are far more than just the sum of
their parts, and the Rio-Antirrio Bridge is one of these. It is far more than just a
link between two towns, and no one is more aware of that than Spyros Spyridon,
General Secretary for the region of western Greece, which was formerly divided
into two parts. “The bridge links the Peloponnes with central and northern
Greece,” explains the 54-year-old. What is more, the next step has European
dimensions: the plan is to build a motorway stretching from the north of Greece
to the Albanian border, and the Rio-Antirrio Bridge will be the most important link
in this north-south axis. “The real significance of the bridge will then become
apparent,” as Spyridon comments.
