The project consists in the systematization, profiling of the road as well as the installation of culverts and construction of retaining walls from the village of Prekal, to the entrance of the village of Lotaj, as well as the restoration of the existing works of art and their addition where necessary.
The road will have an overall width of 5 meters, maintaining the axis of the existing road. The works are set to be completed by the spring of next year.
