The Director of the Albanian Railways, Ergys Verdho, spoke about the landslide situation on the Prrenjas-Librazhd road axis.
In a press conference, Verdho emphasized that there have been increased problems and that the massif in that area has landslides, also affected by the heavy rainfall. He emphasized that work will be done to divert the waters on that slope by building dams in Shkumbin. He emphasized that based on geological studies, a new provisional road will be designed.
"The Elbasan-Pogradec railway segment is in this second phase. The entire line has not been included in the operation since 2012 and is monitored from time to time by vehicle observers who make monthly reports to the Directorate of Infrastructure. At kilometer 103-700 in Dragostunje, part of this segment, as a result of rainfall and the increase in the volume of the Shkumbin River, we have had increased problems in this kilometer, where I would add that the massif, not the road or the railway, the massif of that area has a landslide that was activated 3 years ago. This massif, loaded by the rains of the last 4 months, was made possible by many different factors, such as rain, the volume of being in this kilometer, as well as the Shkumbin River with an increase in the bed and collision with the railway bed, made the sliding plan possible.
All our structures are on the ground, they have taken the necessary measures. We will take our steps to create that permanent road for the part of the river bed. We will take measures to mobilize and divert the waters in that bed, by building dams in Shkumbi. The relief of the mountain slope is very necessary, so as not to be included in the landslide plan. In geological studies we will obtain the friction coefficient, the sigma, the landslide plan, all these elements that we will need to design the new provisional road, or the new road of Corridor VIII ", said Verdho, among other things.
