3. Other Information

The Site is located at Shkodra region.

The segment of the road included in this project with L = 6448km, is connected with the road that leads to the old Buna Bridge and with the road Shtatë Bajrakët, in the district of Rrethina, Municipality of Shkodra. This road segment is very important for the area as it regulates the traffic of its inhabitants and serves the tourist area Shirokë – Zogaj.

The road will pass on an existing route, as the existing road used by residents has a well-defined trail, and is asphalted from Shiroka to Zogaj. The length of the asphalted part is about 4220 meters. After this progress, the new by-pass route over the village of Zogaj will start. This by pass will cross the existing road that passes through Zogaj for a length of L = 1480m. The point where the bypass starts to be traversed is the progressive 4 km + 220 meters, and is connected to the progressive 5km + 700 meters.

Also, the last segment of the road from Zogaj to the border crossing point which is about 492 meters will become a new route.

Therefore, the total length of the asphalted part is 4968 meters, with a road width of 6 m plus two ditches: one 0.7 meters and the other 0.5 m sidewalk on the mountain side – 1x 100 cm on one side unpaved, and the bike lane (Sidewalk) by the lake.

The project also included “Polluted water sewer and atmospheric water drainage systems of inhabited centers; Liria, Shiroka and Zogaj”. In this first phase of the project, called Lot I, only the extent of the pipes is given, with and without pressure of polluted waters sewers and the surface waters drainage of the inhabited centers; Liria, Shiroka and Zogaj, along the road.
