The proposed layout of “Milot-Balldre” road starts from the interchange of Milot where it
connects with the road section Milot-Thumanë-Kashar-Lekaj and with the “Rruga e Kombit”
road, and will end on the existing Tirana-Shkodër road, in Balldre.
_______________________________________
The Adriatic-Ionian Corridor (AIC) is identified as part of the Mediterranean TEN-T
Corridor (as shown on the map below), extending the main corridor of the EU network
in the Western Balkan Region (EC Regulation 2016/758 amending Regulation No.
1315/2013). It will connect Central Europe and Northern Italy with the Balkans in
South-Eastern Europe, with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro,
Albania and Greece. The estimated length of the entire Mediterranean Corridor is
approximately 1,550 km. In the Western Balkan, the corridor traverses through
Montenegro (approximately 7% of the total length) and Albania (approximately 20%
of the total length or approximately 318 km).
The establishment of this network aims to strengthen road safety, transport planning,
regional connection, mobilization, competition and integration in the TEN-T EU
network.
The existing segment of the road that serves the route from Milot to Balldre and the
surrounding areas, is two-way (round trip). The existing road has a greater length than
the new proposal, the technical parameters of movement on this road are of a very low
level. This road passes through the city of Lezha, with very heavy traffic and
consequently, it has a longer travel time and greater fuel consumption, etc. The
sections of the existing road operate within their capacity, but at different times,
especially during the summer season, it is overloaded beyond capacity, as a result of
frequenting the beaches located in this area (Shengjin beach, Tale beach, Velipoja
beach) and the port of Shengjin. According to the traffic demand forecast, the capacity
will be exceeded soon, increasing the number of vehicles in circulation, bringing the
impossibility of coping with this capacity from the existing road.
The new highway will extend from Miloti to Balldre, as a continuation of the KasharThumanë-Milot highway, improving this section from a category "C" road to a
category "A" highway. The Milot-Balldre axis envisaged in this study is about 17 km
long. The proposed section fulfills the characteristics of a category A motorway. This
axis will have a dual carriageway with two lanes each, with a lane divider and emergency lane, jetty, double tube tunnel, large works of art over the river Mat and
the river Drin, small works of art, parallel roads of the F2 category, junctions at the
level with the connecting roads, free alternative roads of the "C" category at a distance
of not less than 1 km from the main axis, as well as the operation and maintenance of
the Infrastructure of Operation including the cabins, the system of automated gates
for allowing entrances and exits to the Street, traffic sensors and other measuring
elements, the electronic system for the collection of Fees and traffic monitoring, the
necessary servers for maintaining and processing the data of traffic and related
collections, as well as any other elements necessary for the realization of the service
of enabling access to the Users' Road, collecting the Fee, controlling traffic and
providing assistance to Users, preventing violations, including responding in case of
urgent interventions. |
