Milot-Balldren, Karakaçi: The cost is not just the construction. The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy explains the value of the contract and the details.
The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Enea Karakaçi, has decided to share a short message on social media regarding the costs of the Milot-Balldren road, stating that there is misinformation about this project.
" Since the moment we announced the winner of the project for the construction of the Milot-Balldren road, I have noticed a disinformation about the costs of building this road, which comes from both the opposition and some uninformed media. It is unjustifiable that those who inform the public continue to do the same thing for years and years, treating a road as a piece of cloth. It is not a ready-made thing that you buy in a store. It is a territory and it is not the same anywhere; there is a field, there is a mountain and according to the characteristics of the territory, the costs also change ," he explained.
On the other hand, he explained that the overall cost of construction is not measured only in kilometers.
" In a concession contract, the payment also includes operation, routine maintenance, intelligent systems, electronic tolling, as well as in-depth maintenance for a period of 35 years. In-depth maintenance means that after a period of time the road will be resurfaced with asphalt to maintain the required standard. The total figure of 364.7 million euros is the total value of the concession contract for 35 years, which includes design, construction, electronic system, operation and maintenance, while the cost of building the highway is 182 million euros ," the minister emphasized.
The Minister explained that the project includes 2 new bridges, a tunnel, about 9.5 km of secondary roads, an electronic system and 5 level crossings.
