Attiki Odos, which is the "apple of contention", is a modern highway, which was built in the 1990s using the concession method. It is 70 km long and is the peripheral ring of the wider metropolitan area of Athens and the backbone of the road network of the Prefecture of Attica. It is an urban type highway, with three traffic lanes and one emergency lane (LEA), in each direction. In the middle of the highway, in a specially designed space, the suburban railway runs.

With the decision No. 195/27.10.2018 of the Interministerial Committee on Restructuring and Privatizations (DEAA) (Government Gazette B΄2501/4.11.2011) the right of the State, for a further concession for up to 25 years of the Attica Road, was transferred to HRADF. after the expiry of the concession contract of 23/5/1996 between the State and the concessionaire company ATTIKI ODOS SA., which was sanctioned by law 2445/1996 (Government Gazette A' 274 /16.12.1996).
