Competition for the Milot-Balldre road postponed - 35-year concession for the 17 km axis, companies have until March 10
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy has postponed the deadline for the concession competition for the construction of the Milot-Balldre road axis. The tender for interested companies was opened on December 19 last year, while the final deadline for submitting bids was February 17. However, according to the new deadlines at the Public Procurement Agency, the deadline has been postponed until March 10.
According to the tender documents, 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 that will be a category A highway, from the current category C road.
The Milot-Balldre axis is about 17 km long, and will have a dual carriageway with two lanes and emergency lanes, a bank, a two-tube tunnel, as well as large works of art over the Mat River and the Drin River. The concessionaire will also have to build parallel roads of category F2, interchanges at grade, along with connecting roads and alternative toll roads of category “C”, at a distance of no less than 1 km from the main axis.
The road begins 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.
It will connect Central Europe and Northern Italy with the Balkans in Southeastern Europe, with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. The estimated length of the entire Mediterranean Corridor is around 1550 km, while 20% of it or 318 km lies on Albanian territory.
