Milot – Balldre, deadline for submitting bids extended/ Concession

 

Companies will have an additional week to submit bids for the Milot - Balldre road axis. When the competition was reopened by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, October 2 marked the last date for submitting documentation, but the new deadline has now been set for October 10. The concession competition aims to find a private company that will build this important road segment, a process that according to the tender documents is expected to last 30 months from the signing of the contract. 

This is not the first time that contracting for this infrastructure work has been sought, as the last procedure opened in December last year was canceled with the argument that none of the submitted offers were suitable.

Meanwhile, according to the tender documents accompanying the concession competition, the total estimated value of the project is around 365 million euros, excluding VAT, while the duration of the contract will be 35 years. This value includes the costs for the design, operation and maintenance of the road, which will be a category A motorway, from the current category C road.

The Milot-Balldre axis is about 17 km long. The road starts at the Milot junction, where it will connect to the other road segments Milot-Thumanë – Kashar – Lekaj – Rruga e Kombit and will end at the existing Tirana-Shkodër road, in Balldre.

This axis is part of the Adriatic-Ionian corridor, which is preliminarily identified as part of the TEN-T Mediterranean Corridor, extending the EU Core Network Corridor to the Western Balkans Region.
