Corridor VIII, lots closing this year - ARRSH aims for the axis from Elbasan, to the Librazhd tunnel and Elbasan-Peqi
The completion of works on several lots of the VIII road Corridor is expected within this year. Representatives of the Albanian Road Authority informed TV SCAN that in the direction from Elbasan to Qafë – Thanë, in addition to Lot I, which is currently completed, the completion of phases II, III and V is also expected. Together with the first, these phases include the segment starting from Labinot – Fushë, up to the city of Librazhd.
More specifically, phase V foresees the construction of the tunnel, as it is divided into two segments, one of which starts right after the Murrash bridge, which marks the end of phase III, making the 2 phases connect to each other. In the direction from Elbasan to Qafë - Thanë, there are a total of 8 contracts covering a length of 26 km and in the other lots, the works will be ongoing.
Meanwhile, within 2026, the completion of 6 other lots of Corridor 8 is also expected, but in the direction from Elbasan - Towards Rrogozhina, covering about 20 km, out of a total of 40.7 km. Even in these segments, the progress of the works is different, but the authorities have stated that the works are carried out easily due to the flat terrain and the fact that they are completely new segments and are not hindered by traffic, as is the case in the rest of this corridor.
After the completion of the works, this axis will be a category B road, interurban with 2 lanes on each side, while referring to the documents, the allowed speed will be in the range of 90 - 140 km/h.
