The Project concerns the construction of approximately 3.3 km of the road section «Dimario – GR/BG Border» on the Egnatia Odos Vertical Axis 70 «Xanthi – Ehinos – GR/BG Border» from ch. 12+820 to ch. 16+147. This road section includes 6 bridges of total length 651.00m, 1 single bore tunnel of length 150 m. This sub-project is part of the project Dimario - GR/BG Border, of 8 km total length (programme indicator), that is being funded by two additional operational programmes, i.e. ROP of East Macedonia and Thrace and OP Transport Infrastructure, Environment, and Sustainable Development. Sub-PROJECT 2, implemented by P2, Upgrading the Road II-86 – Srednogortsi-Rudozem and bypass of Rudozem; Newly constructed Rudozem bypass will facilitate the access to the new BCCP Rudozem-Xanthi and the existing infrastructure will be upgraded.Construction of the new BCCP Dimario-Rudozem which is of a great economic importance for both countries. It executes the Agreement between the government of the Republic of Bulgaria and the government of the Greek Republic to open three new border checkpoints and road links between the two countries. The TEN-T network must be paid special attention due to the fact that it already includes the section Plovdiv-Smolyan-Rudozem-border of Xanthi.

Expected results are:Upgraded 9.653 km of the road connection to the proposed for construction within this Project BCCP Rudozem - Xanthi. This will increase the traffic capacity to the BCCP and will improve the mobility of goods and people between both countries; will reduce the travel time and will remove the transit traffic to the future BCCP out of the city center of Rudozem by building a bypass road. Subproject 3: Construction of the new Border Crossing Check Point Dimario -Rudozem. The operation of the new BCCP is crucial for corss border accessability and the operation of the TEN-T axis Xanthi - Rudozem - Smolyan - Plovdiv.
