Investment in the new Viro bridge/BB: Over 200 thousand drivers and 150 thousand

Work continues on the construction of the new Viro bridge, the first of 30 bridges to be built or improved throughout Albania, thanks to government investment with the support of the World Bank.

The World Bank shared photos from the work underway to build the new Viro bridge, while announcing that the bridge is located on the SH4 axis towards the Kakavija border crossing with Greece and is essential for regional connectivity.

The bridge will be 33 meters long and 7 meters wide, with 2 lanes and pedestrian sidewalks on both sides. The new bridge will shorten travel times, improve safety during floods, and connect communities in southern Albania by creating more employment, education, healthcare, and access to markets.

According to the WB, in the absence of alternative routes when the bridge floods, the construction of the new bridge will ensure uninterrupted traffic throughout the year.

"Over 200,000 drivers and 150,000 pedestrians will benefit as part of the effort for a climate-sustainable transport infrastructure," the World Bank wrote on social media.
