The Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, also Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, posted Sunday images showing the finishing stage of works on construction this major road infrastructure project.

“While the capital city was sleeping, the construction work on Tirana Ring Road doesn’t stop during the cold winter night. With one day to go before grand opening,” Balluku said in a message on the social media.

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.

Work on this segment also includes construction of a 420-meter long bridge and it has been the most complex part of the entire project due to the density of unauthorized constructions in the area.

The Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, also Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, inspected the ongoing work on the site and confirmed that the entire ring road project will open to traffic before end of the year.

“We plan to open the road to traffic before the end of this month, before December 31, including the eastern part of the Ring Road, where construction work continues for several months now,” Balluku said.

According to her, Albanian construction companies have already boosted their capacities and have gained valuable expertise and construction of major infrastructure projects now lasts just several months rather than several years.

“Albanian companies have built incredible capacities and have also gained valuable expertise. With construction of bridges and tunnel roads that meet the EU driving and safety standards, we can openly state that Albanian companies are some of the fines in the region,” Balluku stated.

According to the Authority, the construction of Tirana Ring Road is taking its full form and this is an investment that will ease traffic on interurban roads.

Contract Management Manager Gëzim Noni spoke in an interview with Tv Klan about the works in each lot of this project, where work is underway at an increased pace.

According to him, the teams are currently working at a fast pace in 6 of its 7 lots, to be ready by the end of the current year.

There have also been built secondary roads which connect the ring road with other areas of the capital.

Tirana ring road is 28.7 kilometers long. The designed speed of movement is 90 km per hour, a speed limited due to the many entrances and exits.

This road segment is expected to enliven the lives of communities and increase the value of properties and investments of community residents in all the areas where it passes. /j.p/p.s./

The segment, part of Tirana Ring Road project, will significantly ease traffic and will further drive development  of the area that has been thriving over the past few years.

Prime Minister Edi Rama, accompanied by the Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, also the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, and the Director of the Albanian Road Authority Evis Berberi, inspected the quality of work on construction of this road segment.

`Installing traffic signs, lighting system and greenery and construction works in accordance to the European standard will improve not only movement, but will also provide a fresh impetus to the area’s development.

“Over 85% of the construction works have completed. The road is not being opened temporarily, but permanently. This is a very important segment given its functions as it connects the road with the eastern ring, with motorists no longer obliged to take the roundabout to Elbasan and the traffic will no longer be blocked. It also serves this area, where an economic hub has been already developed. The drive time will also be shortened significantly, with access to all other parts of the Big Ring Road, a very complex project also in terms of the expropriations and the compensation we are providing to the property owners affected by the project in the area,” Deputy Prime Minister Balluku said.

Speaking about the expropriation and compensation process as part of the development projects, the government head sated that nobody would be allowed to take work and the city’s development hostage.

“The thing is that nobody can take the project hostage. The compensation formula is a very positive one and we are enforcing this formula for some years now, because we are seeking to promote social housing, we want to promote all our solidarity approach with all the social categories, with nobody being thrown out on the street. This was the case with the families at May 5 neighbourhood, who were presented with a generous offer of solidarity, although the majority of them had built totally illegally and possessed no ownership documents of whatsoever. However, they were initially granted rental bonus and they will be all provided social housing as soon as construction of the new apartment and residential buildings completes, after being included on a list that has certainly some priorities. Nobody can’t say “I don’t want this or that.” This is not the way things work. If you are to ask the majority of those who hamper such developments, they realize how much time they have wasted and how distressful it has all been for their families. But they have all settled now and due contracts have been signed with them. We can’t keep the city hostage just for the sake of certain individuals, who think that by resorting to the harsh rhetoric, although having violated the law, they can hinder development. They are just hostages being used for the most recent political debate,” PM Rama said.
