The Murriz Tunnel, the most important work on the Arbri road, opens today
Today, the Murriz Tunnel in Albania will be opened to vehicle traffic as the most important work on the Arbri Road.
The Murriz Tunnel is 3.78 kilometers long and consists of two tubes, one for traffic and one for emergency. It has 11 exits. In total, Arbri Road has 7 tunnels, with a total length of 8,5 km, writes ATSH.
The opening of the Murriz tunnel also makes the entire Arbri road accessible, one of the most important national roads, which will mark economic growth for the area and the tourism sector for the North, reports KosovaPress.
With a length of about 74 km, the Arbri Road will become an important East-West connecting corridor. It will not only bring the citizens of Tirana and all of Albania closer to Dibra and North Macedonia, but will also be an artery of economic development and tourism.
This road connects the eastern and northeastern regions of Albania, improving the transportation of residents living in the areas through which the road passes, as well as ensuring the transportation of underground natural resources, such as chromium, from Bulqiza to the port of Durrës, which is then exported.
Also, this road axis will be the shortest route connecting Tirana with Dibra, as well as with the north of North Macedonia, Dibra e Madhe, Tetovo and Skopje, so it will be an international connecting road.
