Tirana Bypass Southern Section Vaqarr – Farke

This investment project will construct a 21.5 km-long bypass at Tirana, which will connect the Tirana – Durrës and Tirana – Elbasan motorways. The bypass will redirect traffic away from the city and create a more efficient transport system, integrated into the regional and European core road networks. 

The Tirana bypass is part of the Adriatic-Ionian Highway, also referred to as the Blue Highway, which will create a seamless route from Trieste in Italy to Greece, while branching out to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania.

The EU has provided technical assistance for project preparation and co-funds the investment under Flagship 3 - Connecting the coastal regions - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
