  • Appendix 4 Status of the Study Transport Network 1
    Louis Berger S.A. APPENDIX 4 STATUS OF THE STUDY TRANSPORT NETWORK 1. HIGHWAYS 1.1 Albania The road network consists of some 16,000 km with around 3,200 km of primary network. There are a further 12,000 km of local network (feeder and distributor roads) and some 1000 km of urban roads. The network is generally in a poor condition. The main regional and international network is focused around two axes: the North–South and East- West Highways, both of which have been attracting considerable donor funds for rehabilitation and development activities. Pan European Corridor VIII follows the line of much of the East-West Highway. A summary of the current status of the remaining unimproved sections of these strategic highways follows: North – South Highway: 1. Lezha – Shkoder section: Studies are current and construction should be complete by end 2003 using GoA funds. The project may consist of several lots to be tendered locally. 2. Shkoder – Han-i-Hotit section will be studied and designed by end 2002 (Italian aid). Italian funds may finance construction, which could start end 2003. Italian approval procedures for funding are very lengthy and delay implementation. Construction may be complete by 2005. 3. Rivers Drin and Mati bridges are still not started (delays from procedures for Italian Co- operation Fund). Road sections are completed between Milot and Lezha but cannot be used until Drin and Mati bridges are complete. 4. The listed “Quick Start” projects from the recent Regional Funding Conference remain confirmed (Lushnje – Fier and Fier – Vlora) but Fier – Vlora (to be funded by EIB) may become Near Term.
