The Attiki Odos / Αττική Οδóς (Greek for " Attic street " ), 6/Αυτοκινητόδρομος 6 ( for " Highway 6 " in Greek ) also called Aftokinitodromos, is a Greek motorway in the region of Attica in Athens metropolitan area. It connects the new Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos - east of Athens with Elefsina in the west and thereby extends north of Athens city center. The Attiki Odos is therefore an east-west direction arc-segment shaped running highway to Athens in terms of a " northern bypass of Athens ". Their total length after removal status in September 2007 is 65 km.
In addition to the A6 as the main component of the Attiki Odos from Elefsina to cross the Attiki Odos Athens airport also includes cross-stays and smaller compounds ( A62, A64, A65 ), which are also designed as highways.
Construction
