Works for road corridor VIII - ARRSH prepares the tender for the relocation of high voltage lines
The relocation of high-voltage lines on Corridor 8 will cost around 116.7 million lekë. The Albanian Road Authority has prepared the tender for the company that will perform this service, allowing the advancement of works on this important road segment.
Corridor 8 is considered the core infrastructure project in our country, and is currently being worked on in 14 lots.
More specifically, in the direction from Elbasan to Qafë – Thanë, work is being carried out in 8 lots with a length of 26 km, while the progress of each of them is different. Meanwhile, in the direction Elbasan – Lekaj, work is being carried out in 6 other lots, covering about 20 km, out of 40.7 km in total. Even in these segments, the progress of the works is different, but the authorities have stated that the works are being carried out easily due to the flat terrain. This segment starts near the former Metallurgical Plant in Elbasan and ends in Lekaj, near Rrogozhina.
Part of Corridor VIII is also the Elbasan bypass, which has not yet been tendered.
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.
Corridor 8 will connect the ports of Italy with the ports of Varna and Burgas in Bulgaria, passing through Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria. It extends for about 154 km in Albanian territory.
