Within the month of June, the contract is signed and we start the works for the expansion. The Tirana-Durres road has over 80,000 vehicles per day, together with the company we will focus the work at night to make the entrances and exits to the construction site of heavy vehicles and during the day we will be on the expansion works", said the head of ARRSH- of.

Asked about the works in the summer season, Gjyli said that this segment is the same every day and that there is no period of the year with less load.

"For Tirana-Durres, it's the same every day. There is no off-peak period for this route. The old way is to focus on the works at night", he emphasized.

The entire project costs 250 million euros in both directions. According to the director of ARRSH, if there is funding from the government, this road will be finished in 3 years./ CNA
