TIRANA, December 10 /ATA/ Minister of Infrastructure Belinda Balluku inspected this evening the roads in the tourist resort of Dardha, in Korça.
Balluku said that, “We are in Dardhë because it snows. We have talked to all the mayors in the county and the performance of maintenance contracts has been very good during this period. Let’s call this a test period for the beginning of the process while the weather will get worse. We keep 3650 km of roads under maintenance and we have 41 contracts “.
“Winter maintenance contracts start every year in November and end on March 15, but during this year we have started earlier. On October 15, in Korça region, we started the maintenance, despite the fact that the contracts start in November. Certainly, the two most affected areas in Korça are the two tourist spots, Voskopoja and Dardha, in which although there is no snow in the lower parts, these areas are under maintenance due to continuous snow “, said Balluku.
Balluku added that the maintenance we do is important and is constant and during this year we have not had any blocked roads. The emergency team of Albanian Road Authority is functioning normally and we are in constant contact./a.a/r.e/p.s./
