Lot 1 of the Shkodra bypass is open for vehicle traffic

The works for lot 1 of the Shkodra bypass have been completed and this whole segment with a length of 4.8 kilometers is already open for the movement of vehicles. The axis is equipped with all urban elements, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, lighting and greenery, serving as a pedestrian for the citizens of Shkodra.

The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, together with the Minister of State for Entrepreneurship Protection, Edona Bilali and the Director of the Albanian Road Authority, Evis Berberi inspected the works performed for this work.

"It is a tear that consists of 4.8 kilometers long, with two crossings of 7 meters wide for the movement of cars. The axis has all the necessary elements for a road of this category, we have bicycle lanes, sidewalk, greenery, side and central lighting. This segment will greatly facilitate the traffic and movement within the city ", announced the director of ARA.

The Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku said that the Shkodra bypass is part of the Tirana-Hani i Hotit axis, but that facilitates traffic within the city. Calling on drivers to be careful, as the road, due to the elements that are part of the project, will also serve as a pedestrian for citizens, stressed the need for maintenance of this work.

Regarding Shkodra, the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy said that there are a number of important projects, mainly in infrastructure that affect this city, but also the surrounding area, further promoting economic development.

"We have bigger infrastructure plans here, which we have discussed with all actors in the Shkodra area and are important and larger interventions, which will make this part an integral part of the Adriatic-Ionian corridor. , which we intend to start during 2022, since that corridor starts from Muriqan and will have to be connected with Shkodra. Undoubtedly we are always used to Shkodra crossing or crossing as is the case here, with the axes leading to the Hoti Inn, but it is important to say that due to the Adriatic-Ionian corridor we will pay special attention also part of Muriqan customs. Given the work that will be done, there will again be other infrastructural interventions, which will make Shkodra go directly to that corridor, always leaving the alternative of existing roads. "Even the entrance bridge is something we consider, to process larger volumes", announced Balluku.

Ministrja Bilali, njëherësh deputete e qarkut Shkodër, tha se kjo është një vepër e shumëpritur nga ana e qytetarëve pasi ka qenë një kërkesë e tyre e vazhdueshme. “Premtimi i radhës i mbajtur. Ka qenë një kërkesë afatgjatë e qytetarëve dhe ne deputetët si përfaqësues të tyre e kemi përcjellë këtë kërkesë. Më vjen shumë mirë që kjo Qeveri e dëgjon zërin e qytetarëve, siç është rasti konkret i byppasit, por edhe lajmet fantastike që ju përmendët për Shkodrën janë kërkesa të qytetarëve dhe bizneseve, të cilët një pjesë e madhe mbahen me turizmin dhe infrastruktura është hapi i parë për zhvillimin e tij”, u shpreh Bilali.

The Shkodra Bypass starts at the entrance of the city and ends at its exit connecting with the Shkodra-Hani i Hotit segment. This segment will serve the road users who are destined for the customs of Hani i Hotit as well as all the surroundings of the Great Highlands, thus avoiding the entrance inside the city of Shkodra. Lot 2 of the bypass will be developed in cooperation with the Albanian Development Fund, which will treat it as a promenade and as a garden incorporated within the great development that the area has received.
