The highest traffic levels are between Metamorphosi and Duk. Plakentias, with peak hours between 8-9 a.m. and 5-6 p.m. on weekdays.
Attiki Odos is preferred despite congestion and tolls because the road is in better condition than other parts of the network, and there are no alternatives on routes such as the one to the airport.
It is expected that traffic on Attiki Odos will increase by over 60% by 2050, according to “K” and Thanasis Tsianos, president of the Association of Greek Transport Engineers, making new road projects essential.
Planned projects include the extension of Kymis Avenue, the expansion of Attiki Odos to the Western Peripheral Ymittos section with Vouliagmeni Avenue towards Lavrio and Rafina, and the construction of a new highway from Elefsina to Thebes, which will bypass Kifisos.
