To connect Miloti with Shkodra (the northern edge of the Western Lowlands) by highway, only another 50 km are needed. Which is not being done…
In Albania, only 350 kilometers of roads are highway-level (with four lanes). Three-quarters of them are in the Western Lowlands (one quarter runs through the Northeastern Highlands - from Rrëshen to Morinë of Kukes).
The longest non-stop highway journey between the two cities is Tirana-Vlora (152 km), which connects the center of the Western Lowlands with its southern edge. Meanwhile, in the northern half of the Western Lowlands, the longest highway journey is Tirana-Milot (47 km). To connect Milot with Shkodra (the northern edge of the Western Lowlands) by highway, only another 50 km are needed. Which is not being done…
In its last mandate, the Berisha government provided large funds for the Tirana-Elbasan, Fier-Vlora and Qukës-Qafë Plloçë axes - but no funds for the Milot-Shkodër highway. And the idea of this vital highway for Shkodra has remained orphaned even in the 12 years of the Rama government...
For family nostalgia, I visit Shkodra from time to time – one of our historical, geographical and urban pearls. But on a typical day, the drive there from Tirana takes about 2 difficult hours (you have to leave early, before dawn, to get there in 1 hour and 30 minutes). However, with the construction of the Milot-Shkodra highway, the drive from Tirana to Shkodra can be accomplished without difficulty in just 1 hour…
When will the Milot-Shkoder highway be built?
