Tirana-Durrës Highway Expansion - Tender for Phase III closed without

The tender for the third phase of the Tirana-Durres highway expansion has been closed without complaints, paving the way for the selection of the winning company and the signing of the contract. This phase includes the construction of the junction connecting the Laknas road to the highway expansion project.

The limit fund made available is around 2.5 billion lek, while the tender documents specified that the area where this project is required to be implemented is an area with high industrial development and recently also with significant urban development.

"The existing road, apart from being in poor condition of the asphalt layers, does not have direct access to the main Tirana-Durres axis. Currently, the connection to this axis is realized through parallel roads (which are heavily trafficked most of the day) with the Kamza Turnpike junction at a distance of about 2200 m in the direction of Tirana," - it was stated, among other things, in the tender documents.

Currently, work is underway to expand the first 5 km of the highway, starting just after the Kamza turnoff, to the Rinas overpass. According to the project, the highway will be expanded by 2 lanes in each direction, bringing the total to 8 lanes, while authorities have stated that the goal is to complete them in December of this year.

The intervention on the Tirana - Durrës highway is intended to bring an improvement in traffic, which currently presents numerous problems.
