TIRANA, May 30 /ATA/ Tirana will have one of the most beautiful entrances, which facilitates the circulation of vehicles entering and leaving the capital, but also improves the view of one of the most important junctions and the area around it.
Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj, Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, General Director of Albanian Road Authority, Sonila Qato, as well as architects and urban planners took part in the presentation of “Eagle” square project , which comes in the form of an underpass dedicated to buses, bicycles, but also featuring greenery.
In his remarks, Mayor Veliaj appreciated the proposal stressing that the roundabout underpass gives the city a different look. “One of the talking topics is about the possibility and the proposal to transform the” Eagle “roundabout from a solution in height to a solution in depth. When massive infrastructure amenities, such as highways cross urban areas, such as those we’ve seen in Europe’s major capitals or cities, as the case of Brussels or Milan, the solution lies in depth. In our context, the initial proposal is about underground floors, which do not interrupt circulation, “Veliaj said.
