Will there be dedicated urban lanes in Tirana? A contract is signed for their

The project for the intervention in some roads in Tirana to enable dedicated bus lanes as well as the rehabilitation of some stations already has a finalized contract.

The municipality of Tirana announced in the procurement system that the procedure for this object was won by the company "Liqeni VII" for a value of 95.2 million ALL with VAT and the works will be completed within 9 months.

Referring to the documents made public in the first phase of the procurement, interventions are foreseen in several segments.

Thus, the implementation project of dedicated bus lanes includes the following roads:

- The middle ring (from the "Bryl" intersection to the "Vasil Shanto" bridge on both sides of the "Lana" river).

- Of "Kavaja" (segment from "Mustafa Qemal Ataturku" square - intersection with "Ibrahim Rugova")

- "Muhamet Gjollesha" (segment from "Vasil Shanto" bridge - "Karl Topia" square)" the document says.

The same documents also provide for the rehabilitation of the stations that include the 3 corridors of the city's public transport lines as well as the area around the center where the concentration of travelers and the demand for transit is greater:

– "Kinostudio Kombinat" line

– "New Tirana" line

– The line "Ring.

"The roads are mostly in good condition. There is repairable damage to the asphalt in some segments where there are currently parking spaces for vehicles. According to the design task, the network of water and white and black sewers is functional and in good condition. Information boards for citizens are missing in urban stations.

In the absence of a lane dedicated to buses, we have delays in their frequency, traffic, their overflow. It is also necessary to rehabilitate the green crowns along the segments of the project, the collection point for urban waste and the dividing/protective element of this lane suitable for avoiding "tire jumping", the document underlined.
