Durrës-Prishtina Railway, SCAN reveals the 1.8 billion euro project - Exclusive/ 43 bridges and 14 tunnels. 105.8 km with 7 stations from Shkodra to Gjakova
The railway line from Shkodra to Gjakova will have 7 stations, with a length of 105.8 km. TV SCAN has revealed details from the presentation of the feasibility study for the project that will connect Albania with Kosovo by railway, which was carried out by the consultant a few days ago near state institutions.
The assessment takes into account the segment that starts from Shkodra and ends in Gjakova, given that the track from Durrës to Shkodra will be the same as the Vorë - Hani i Hotit railway line, for which tender procedures are being developed for its construction.
According to the document, the Shkodër - Gjakova segment will contain 43 bridges and 14 tunnels, while the total length of the tunnels is 35.3 km. According to the presentation, the costs for this segment are estimated at 1.8 billion euros. About 1.7 billion are costs needed for construction, while the rest are estimated as costs for permits, expropriations, etc.
In the presentation made to state institutions by consultants Abcons and ILF Consulting Engineers, it is stated that "the results and findings of the Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design of the Durrës-Prishtina Railway prove the technical feasibility and economic viability of the project . "The financial indicators of the project suggest that the project is not financially viable, however, this is a common situation for large railway infrastructure projects," the presentation states, among other things.
Based on these indicators, the consultants recommend that the institutions move on to the next phase, but keep in mind that the conceptual design of the tunnel is based on very general geological, hydrogeological and geotechnical information, requiring important assumptions. “ These assumptions must be verified in the later stages of the project to ensure technical and financial feasibility,” the document states, among other things.
