TIRANA, November 12/ATA/- Intensive work for reconstruction of Shiroka Square on the southwest coast of Shkodra Lake is underway.
The investment is part of the project “On re-qualification of the western bank of Shkodra lake”, funded by the government of Albania through the Albanian Development Fund (ADF).
The reconstruction works extend over an area of about 20,000 m². The interventions envisage restoration of 2,000 m² façade, building of 1,500 m² new roofs, building of 1,700 m² public parking, pavement of the square with stony slabs, public street lighting, building of the waterworks and canalization system, works on creation of the green spaces covering an area of 1156 m² and planting about 625 decorative trees.
The project also preserves the historical, urban and natural identity of the area. Thus, there are planned traditional models of mosaics in the Central Square and use of materials and unified colours on restoration of the façades.
The works are expected to be completed in summer 2020.
The project aims at transformation of the area into a real tourist destination offering urban and natural space dedicated to all the people fond of nature, history or sport.//a.i/
