Winners announced for the reconstruction of the Milot Bridge - Works expected to be completed within eight weeks
About 5 weeks after opening the tender, the Albanian Road Authority (ARRSH) has announced the winning company that will carry out emergency interventions for the reconstruction of the Milot Bridge over the Mat River.
The works, which are expected to last 2 months, will be carried out by the joint venture of the companies "Junik Shpk & Joos & Krasniqi – Baze", which have offered 860 thousand euros. This amount is 80.5% of the limit fund of 107.6 million lek made available by the ARA.
According to the technical report prepared in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Tirana, the bridge's supporting piles have been exposed and eroded 3 - 5 meters, due to erosion and uncontrolled exploitation of the riverbed.
The contract includes concreting and protecting the piles, placing interlocking blocks (gabions) to stabilize the bed, and clearing and leveling the area around the foundations. These measures are expected to extend the life of the bridge by at least 5 to 10 years.
According to the Albanian Road Authority, the works will begin immediately, considering that the intervention is classified as emergency.
The Milot Bridge is located on the Milot - Lezhë road axis and is a key node on this national axis.
