Aktio – Preveza undersea tunnel

Wikipedia (English) gives the toll as EUR 3 as of January 2026. Cost sources disagree and none states an outturn: English Wikipedia gives an approximate construction cost of EUR 90 million, Greek Wikipedia a project budget of EUR 58,904,232.13, so no cost is recorded. Length measured from the OpenStreetMap way is about 1.74 km because it includes the approach ramps; the recorded 1,570 m is sourced.
