Flyover: Traffic Upgrade of Thessaloniki’s Inner Ring Road

Consortis, through its specialized surveying department, serves as a technical consultant for the landmark project "Flyover", which aims to upgrade traffic flow on Thessaloniki's Inner Ring Road. The project involves constructing an Elevated Expressway (Flyover) that will improve traffic conditions, enhance mobility, and promote urban development.

The Problem

Thessaloniki's Inner Ring Road faces significant traffic issues, including high congestion levels, delays, and accidents. The need for infrastructure upgrades with modern traffic solutions was imperative, while the expropriation of land was a critical step in the project's implementation.

The Solution

Consortis played a pivotal role in the project, providing technical consultancy services for complementary expropriations and updating cadastral data. Specifically, our services included:

• Preparation, Updating, and Completion of Cadastral Records: Supporting the Directorate of Expropriations, Surveying, and Geoinformatics (D25) in managing the expropriations of the required land parcels
• Precise Spatial Planning: Ensuring accuracy in the project's spatial layout along the municipalities of Neapoli, Thessaloniki, Pavlos Melas, and Pylaia–Chortiatis
• Infrastructure Support: Managing data for the construction of the 13.5 km-long Elevated Expressway, including 4 km of continuous bridges

Benefits

The Flyover project and Consortis's contributions deliver substantial benefits to the city of Thessaloniki:

• Traffic Relief: Reduced congestion and improved traffic flow on the Ring Road
• Enhanced Safety: Creation of infrastructure that boosts road safety with four lanes per direction and an Emergency Lane (EL)
• Support for Development: Improved accessibility and promotion of urban and regional development
• Modern Infrastructure: Construction of nine interchanges, eight new bridges, and three tunnels, upgrading the transportation network

This project is a milestone for Thessaloniki, with Consortis’ Cadastre  and Land Surveying Department playing a crucial role in its successful execution, contributing to improved quality of life and urban development.
