TIRANA, Nov 13 /ATA/ The works for the construction of the Llogara Tunnel, which will be a strategic work for tourism on the Ionian Riviera, will kick off tomorrow.
The news was announced by Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Belinda Balluku, who published a video featuring a view of this project, as well as some of important infrastructure investments that have been completed and others in progress.
The 5.9 km long Llogara tunnel will shorten the travel time from 55 minutes to 7-10 minutes.
This tunnel connects the St. Eliza bridge in the area of Dukat with the Palasa bridge. According to estimates, traveling through the 5.9 km tunnel at a speed of 50-80 km / h, this road will be traversed in 7-10 minutes.
Fier bypass, 22 kilometers long, meets all road safety requirements for drivers. It is a category B bypass, extra urban, which has a speed limit of 120 kilometers / hour.
The Vlora bypass that connects the Levan-Vlora highway with the national coastal road Vlora-Saranda, the southern part of Vlora is another road that is set to be fully completed this year. This axis is 29 km long and starts from the roundabout at the end of the Levan-Vlora highway.
The Tepelena bypass is an important work of national infrastructure, part of the North-South axis.
Another important project is Dukaj – Sinanaj in Tepelena. This is an investment worth 3.7 million euros, 14.5 km long and is an important tourist road axis, which spurs both the agricultural and agro-tourism sector.
The Kardhiq-Delvinë road, 33 km long, consists of 8 lots. The completion of this infrastructural work reduces by 3 hours the travel time from Tirana to Saranda, giving further boost to the multidimensional development of the area and the country.
Arbri Road, which will be inaugurated on November 29, includes 7 tunnels 8.5 km long each. At a length of about 74 km, it will become an important East-West connecting corridor. This strategic investment will not only bring the citizens of Tirana and all of Albania closer to Dibra and North Macedonia, but will be an artery of economic development and tourism.
The Great Ring Road of the capital is a 27 kilometer long segment. Its completion in 2023 eases traffic within Tirana, while connecting the capital with all national exit roads.
The Lin-Pogradec road axis in the southeast of the country has turned into a major attraction, which draws more and more visitors and tourists to the lakefront town of Pogradec.
