Albanian Railways (HSH), which is the contracting authority for the rehabilitation project of the Tirana-Durres line and the construction of the extension in Rinas, announced that it has retendered the procedure related to the construction of train stations.

The announcement was made on the website of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development where the tender is classified as a phase and interested companies will have the opportunity to submit a bid until July 9, 2024. The procedure described "Works" specifies: Construction of Railway Stations in the Section Tirana - Durrës, eight stations (retendering).

The works for the stations are a separate item from the construction of the railway where the works started in November 2021 when the relocation of the old tracks also started. The company that is implementing this project is INC spa, which was declared the winner in 2020, with an offer of 69.7 million euros.

In a recent inspection by the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, it was announced that nearly 70% of the physical works, as well as 90% of the works of art that are part of this project, have been completed. During this inspection, the administrator of the Albanian Railways, Ergys Verdho, announced that the works will be completed in March 2025.

The reconstructed Tirana-Durres line will pass over the old line, while the Tirana-Rina part will be added, a completely new railway line. As for the stations from the Albanian Railway, it has been confirmed earlier that the existing stations will continue to remain in the same locations, while the new stations will be on the new axis from Domje to Rinas Airport.

"The stations are as follows: Durrës - Shkozet - Sukth - Vorë - Kashar (total reconstruction of existing stations), Epoka University/Laknas, Tirana Airport and Tirana Public Transport Terminal (completely new) and the area near Hygeia Hospital is the station the last of the project in progress.

The 9th and 10th stations are foreseen and designed to be built in the contract of the additional segment from the Tirana Public Transport Terminal (PTT) to the New Boulevard. Specifically, in the Military Hospital area and on New Boulevard. It is being considered to add an 11th station at the intersection of the road "Jordan Misja" - Bulevardi i Ri" former administrator Gentian Liko would confirm in an interview for "Monitor" in a special interview./ Monitor
