Elbasan-Lekaj Highway / 4 tenders for the construction of the remaining 21 km are about to be opened
The Albanian Road Authority plans to open tenders for the construction of the segment from Pajova e Peqinit, to Rrogozhina, part of Corridor 8. TV SCAN has learned that 4 procurement procedures have been completed, which will complete the segment from the former Metalurgjiku in Elbasan, towards the city of Rrogozhina. According to the ARRSH, the project has been completed and approved by this department and is simply awaiting the opening of procedures to continue.
The Elbasan–Lekaj road axis runs through the lowland of the Shkumbini River valley from the city of Elbasan to the vicinity of its mouth. It passes through the regions of Elbasan (Bradashesh, Shirgjan, Gjegjan, Cërrik, Papër), Peqin (Pajovë, Shez, Gjocaj, Peqin, Karinë) and Kavajë (Sinaballaj, Rrogozhinë). Currently, work is being carried out in 6 lots on this segment, covering about 20 km, out of a total of 40.7 km. This means that the 4 new contracts will cover the construction of the remaining 21 km.
This road axis, in its current state, passes at the foot of the hills on the northern side of the river until the exit of the city of Peqin and continues further in the plain towards the city of Rrogozhina, where it also connects with the North-South corridor at a place called Bishti i Zhurit.
Meanwhile, referring to the deadline of the signed contracts, the first 20 kilometers are expected to be completed in December of this year. The authorities have considered this deadline achievable, as the progress of the works is according to schedule, while no problems with expropriations have been encountered.
