Another expansion for Tirana-Durrës - ARRSH prepares the tender for phase III, the limit fund will be 2.5 billion lek
The Tirana-Durres highway will be expanded even after the Rinas overpass. The Albanian Road Authority plans to open the tender for the third phase of the works, while the available limit fund will be 2.5 billion lekë. Details on the length of the road will be subject to the works and their duration are not yet public.
The opening of this tender will follow 2 procurement procedures last year for phases I and II of the project, which included the expansion of the highway in its first 5 km, starting just after passing the Kamza turn, up to the Rinas overpass. The works started in September last year and after the expansion of the highway, the permitted speed for vehicle traffic will be 90 - 140 km/h. According to the project, the highway will be added with 2 lanes in each direction of movement, bringing the total to 8 lanes.
The total cost for the intervention in the first 5 km reaches 3.44 billion lek or about 34.4 million euros, including VAT. According to official documents, the works in phases I and II are expected to last 19 months from the moment of signing the contract, which means that they will be completed in the spring of 2026. However, earlier, representatives of the Albanian Road Authority have stated to TV SCAN that the goal is to complete it earlier.
The intervention on this road axis is intended to bring an improvement in traffic, which currently presents numerous problems. This not only for citizens, but also for businesses operating along it.
