The race for Milot-Balldre will open again - The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy publishes the forecast in the APP
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy intends to reopen the concession competition for the Milot - Balldre road axis. On August 8, this department published the forecast with the Public Procurement Agency, which indicates the intention to conduct the tender.
The last procedure opened in December last year was canceled just a few weeks ago, as according to the ministry, none of the submitted offers were suitable.
Meanwhile, according to the tender documents that accompanied the last concession competition, the total estimated value of the project is around 365 million euros, excluding VAT, while the duration of the contract will be 35 years. This value includes the costs for the design, operation and maintenance of the road, which will be a category A motorway, from the current category C road.
The Milot-Balldre axis is about 17 km long, and will have a dual carriageway with two lanes and emergency lanes, a shoulder, a two-tube tunnel, as well as large works of art over the Mat and Drin rivers. The concessionaire will also have to build parallel roads of category F2.
The road begins at the Milot junction, where it will connect to the other road segments Milot-Thumanë – Kashar – Lekaj – Rruga e Kombit and will end at the existing Tirana-Shkodër road, in Balldre.
This axis is part of the Adriatic-Ionian corridor, which is preliminarily identified as part of the TEN-T Mediterranean Corridor, extending the EU Core Network Corridor to the Western Balkans Region.
