TIRANA, Aug 8 /ATA/ Deputy Prime Minister, also Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, announced on Tuesday that work has started on the Blue Corridor, which will connect the north with the south of the country.
In a post on social media, Balluku published the map of the infrastructural road network where investments will be concentrated for the implementation of this important project.
“The increasing number of visitors this season has undoubtedly exacerbated the inherited traffic situation in the Milot-Kashar area,” said Balluku.
Balluku emphasized that, “the good news is that we have already started work to connect Western Albania from north to south with the Blue Corridor.”
According to her, in Thumana – Kashar, work is running apace with more than 40% of the volumes completed, to continue with the segments, Milot – Thumanë, Kashar – Lekaj.
“For the road axis Lekaj – Fier, we are concluding three contracts to start work straight away. Meanwhile, for the segment Milot – Balldren, we open the construction competition in the fall and for the road Murriqan – Lezhë, which is the segment that connects us with Montenegro. Currently, the WBIF consultants are designing the preliminary project, which is expected to be delivered in December 2023,” said Balluku.
