TIRANA, Nov 2 /ATA/ – Work is nearing completion on construction of the Tirana Ring Road, a major infrastructure project designed to ease traffic flow, shorten distances especially for the vehicles transiting the Albanian capital.
Prime Minister Edi Rama took to the social media on Saturday to share images of the ongoing construction work, as the road project is scheduled to complete and open to traffic by the end of the year.
The government head announced that around 80% of the work has completed.
“Work continues full steam ahead on construction of Tirana Ring Road, with over 80% of the overall work already completed,” PM Rama wrote.
Tirana Ring Road project is expected to significantly ease traffic flow, shorten distances, boost business and will increase properties value in the Albanian capital.
The 28-meter wide and four-lane Category A road will feature also a three-meter wide emergency lane.
The segment also features a 1.8-meter wide green traffic divider and it is one of the longest sections of the entire Tirana Ring Road, which also includes a 126-meter long bridge.
The 27 km ring road is aimed at solving the traffic problems in Tirana and is seen by the authorities as a major project as it will ease traffic flows and reduce congestion-related travel delays for cars and public transport.
Its construction will ease traffic and will link Albanian capital with all exit and entry national roads, including the Arberi Road, Tirana-Elbasan highway and Tirana- Durres highway.
