Balluku: The Thumanë-Kashar axis has an alternative route, soon an overpass

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure, Belinda Balluku

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure, Belinda Balluku, responded to the opposition's accusations regarding the Thumane-Kashar highway.

Balluku said that the Thumane-Kashar axis is of European standards. She emphasized that in the future, the problem of the residents will also be solved by building an overpass, in addition to the existing alternative route.

The minister stated that the overpass will be built 4 kilometers away from the existing overpass in Grazma, while denying that the project has undergone changes.

"Due to the requirements for road safety and to maintain the level of road safety, there have been numerous interventions that have been public and transparent. We had a competition that took place during the pandemic period without success, it was a project, which was divided into forums at different tables. It must be said that Thumane-Kashar did not have 4 nodes, there are two nodes that are part of the project, while 3 nodes were part of the study.

The two nodes are built and there is no change from the initial project and it is about the entrance of Rinas and Kashar. The node that will finally solve the Thumana problem is the Thumana node located as part of the project that will continue. It is only 4 km away from the overpass existing today in Grazma. The latter to provide a provisional solution. I heard that they were not defeated...we were not defeated by imperialism. I don't know who came out to defeat them. 6:00 in the afternoon or 8:00 in the evening is not a late hour for me.

To address, to understand well that the interest of an individual cannot prevail over the interests of the whole country. We have given him a provisional solution. You don't even know, there is an alternative way. That video you posted copying your supreme leader doesn't move a word, all toll roads must have alternate roads. Thumana has an alternative route, but it is long and not in good condition, and not all alternative routes are like this.

There is an alternative route. We are in the phase of signing this contract for the construction of Thumanë-Milot. Lately, when I meet people, we have explained that provisionally they will access the Gramza overpass with one road until the day when we have the complete roundabout and overpass in the entrance area of ??Thumana. We have agreed that if they see fit, we need an agreement with the community, since there are also houses, we can consider turning the Gramza overpass into a permanent junction," Balluku emphasized./ CNA
