Combine - Ndroq – Plepa, an important investment for economic, agricultural and agrotourism development!
Urban transformation is continuing on axes, roads and areas of importance, not only in infrastructure, but also for the economic, agricultural and agrotourism development they have.
Such is the Kombinat - Ndroq - Plepa road, a project that is in the first phase of reconstruction, and will continue in three phases, where part of the investment is also the reconstruction of the Beshiri Bridge, which will eliminate all curves, increasing road safety.
Prime Minister Edi Rama was at the construction site of this road today, together with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku.
“We are in the first phase of the rehabilitation of the Kombinat-Plepa road. This is a very important work in terms of infrastructure, but also in terms of development, since this area has a significant agricultural and agrotourism development. The road is about 28 km long. In the first phase we have 5 km, 4.8 to be precise. Here we are in the last part of the first phase and 1.6 km are almost completed. The most difficult part for us has undoubtedly been the underground infrastructure. We had to work with OSHEE and the water supply and sewerage of the Municipality of Tirana to move and expand this road. From a rural road, this road goes to a category C road. The crown of the entire embankment is 12.5 m with two lane separations of 3.75 m, thus taking it to category C and giving us the opportunity to have a road with a speed of 50 to 100 km per hour, ” explained Deputy Prime Minister Balluku, as she emphasized that a completely new bridge will be built in the Beshiri Bridge area.
"The important part is that despite the fact that the track is preserved in its entirety, a completely new bridge is being built in the Beshir Bridge area, thus eliminating the tight curves that we have in that part. The bridge is being built with the WB project for bridges where this year we also have the Viroi Bridge and the Vjosa Bridge. Meanwhile, due to the good progress of the works, we claim to close the first phase, the first 5 kilometers, within December. In the 2026 budget, we have also foreseen the other two phases, which are 15 km in total, and then it continues like this. It is one of the only construction sites where traffic continues as you can see. The progress is very good, it is 30% of the entire volume and here the complexity is very great because as you can see, the company continues to work, while we have traffic that we cannot stop because there is no parallel axis. We are on schedule, as I said, we can finish faster. The delivery deadline is "May 2026, our goal is to complete this first phase on New Year's Eve 2025," said Deputy Prime Minister Balluku.
For his part, Prime Minister Rama emphasized that the axis takes on special importance due to the creation of a series of new agrotourism businesses in the area through which it passes.
"It is one of the most sought-after axes, whose turn has come and which will be an axis with a tourist profile and because of this territory where agrotourism has begun to emerge and where we strongly believe that the development of agrotourism will be very positive for the economy of the capital and for the household economy here, as it is an area that will benefit greatly from the growth of tourism and from the flows that go towards Tirana or Durrës, " he said.
