Work continues on expansion Elbasan-Qafë Thanë road, part of Corridor 8

TIRANA, March 21 /ATA/ – Construction work is in full swing to totally transform the Elbasan-Qafe Thane road under a road expansion project, part of the Corridor VIII, an East-West motorway and rail transport corridor through Albania, North Macedonia and Bulgaria.

Albanian Road Authority said in a press release on Tuesday that work is underway on construction of the underpasses at the third and sixth kilometre of the road.

According to Road Authority, the pillars of the road bridge are currently being constructed, while gabion walls are being built to ensure river protection.

“This road segment will be totally transformed. The road will shorten distance and the drive time and it will be transformed into a four-lane intercity motorway as part of the Corridor 8, already included in the European network,” Road Authority said.
