Add article description

Line 1 of the Thessaloniki Metro, also known as the Base Project (Greek: Βασικό Έργο), is a deep-level underground rapid transit line in Thessaloniki, Greece, connecting N. Sid. Stathmos in the west with Nea Elvetia in the east, before continuing on to the Pylaia depot. The line is set to open in March 2024. Discovery of historical sites in 2019 halted work for 28 months while excavations took place.[1] Of the line's 13 stations, 11 are also stops for Thessaloniki Metro's Line 2, as they will share tunnels.[2] The line is expected to open in 2024.[3][4]
