The Regional Council of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace initiated a four-step plan to upgrade the road connecting Drama and Amphipolis, a move prompted by a fatal traffic accident in early August.

The project has since progressed to the selection of a provisional contractor for the Drama-Amphipoli vertical axis. Following previous delays due to legal appeals during the tender process, the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport approved financial evaluation protocols for the second phase of the international tender. The project is expected to be implemented as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with an estimated budget of approximately €248.5 million, covering a 30-year period that includes construction, operation, and maintenance.
