Vorë-Hani i Hotit Railway - After the tender for the construction, the EBRD

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has opened a tender for the supervision of the works of the Vorë – Hani i Hotit railway. The supervision will also include all mechanical and electrical services, while the contracting authority will be the Albanian Railways.

The opening of this procedure comes 1 month after the conclusion of the first phase of the tender for the construction of this railway line, which was the pre-qualification phase. This means that companies that qualify will be invited to bid in a second phase, until the selection of the company that will implement the works.

With the completion of the tender procedures and the conclusion of the contract, the way is opened for the implementation of works for one of the most important railway projects in the country.

As previously announced, the main works will include the modernization of approximately 120 km of permanent road between Vora and Hani i Hoti to achieve a maximum operating speed of 100–120 km/h.

The total cost for the rehabilitation of the railway line that will connect Albania with Montenegro is 368 million euros and is co-financed with loans provided by the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a grant from the European Union and the Albanian government that will cover the cost of any land relocation, resettlement, and taxes necessary to finalize the project.
