The government head said that this important segment, an extension of Arbri Road linking Tirana with Diber region on the Macedonian border, will boost development of local agriculture and agri-tourism.

“The road connecting Peshkopi and Maqellare will not only shorten the distance between the villages along  Diber and Tirana, but will also shed light potential for tourism development in Albania’s north and will support development agriculture and agri-tourism in the area,” PM Rama said.

The investment is designed to upgrade the road and its standards and will shorten distance between Peshkopi and Maqellare to nine kilometers from 11 kilometers currently.

Once construction works complete, the drive time between Tirana and Peshkopi will shorten to one hour only and it will encourge higher visitors influx to the country’s north-eastern region.
