Tolls for passenger cars on the Attiki Odos ring road around Athens, which also connects the capital to its airport, will be cut to €2.50 from €2.80, starting on October 6.
The new concessionaire, construction group GEK Terna, will take over operations in October.
The cost of the 25-year concession was €3.27 billion.
After five years, it will be possible for tolls to rise to €3.25 at peak hours (7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.), provided that off-peak rates are cut so that they average €2.50 over a day.
For this to happen, the new operator must prove that traffic speeds slow down significantly at peak hours.
