Prefect of Korça region Nertil Jole told ATA today that, “Due to the low temperatures at dawn, the road was covered with snow. Since the morning, the contractor has been using snowplows to remove the snow and spread salt”.

According to him, movement of vehicles is normal on all the main roads of the region.

“The staff of the Center-East Directorate of the Albanian Road Authority is monitoring them to ensure any intervention where necessary”, said Jole.

The Road Authorities appealed to drivers to be careful, to use winter tires and chains, to reduce speed and to respect the signs and instructions of the Road Police, when traveling in areas under snow. /k.s/a.f/p.s./
