The railway network in Albania has not benefited from any major overhaul since its commissioning. It currently allows for travel speeds under 60 km/h. It has not been electrified and the telecommunication and signalling system is obsolete, causing frequent interruptions in traffic. As a result, passenger services are seasonal and freight transport is inefficient.
This project is intended to rehabilitate the Durres - Pogradec - Lin section (136 km) as well as to construct a 2.8 km railway link between Lin and the border with North Macedonia. The investments will improve multimodal connections with Italy, through the Port of Durres (Albania), as well as with North Macedonia and Bulgaria.
The project is currently at feasibility study stage. The study was prepared by the Infrastructure Project Facility 4, through a €720,000 EU grant allocated by the WBIF, in June 2015.
