The newly built entrance road to the lakeside town offers a magic ride along the entire lakeshore stretch of the Ohrid. The road’s project was redesigned from scratch, including the construction of the panoramic tunnels that improve the road safety, retaining walls and other additional elements that classify the project as a road up to the European standards and as one of the country’s most beautiful tourist trajectories.

Prime Minister Edi Rama, accompanied by the Minister of Infrastructure Damian Gjiknuri, and the Minister of Agriculture Niko Peleshi, today inspected the new road, construction of which also freed the entire lake’s shore from the illegal buildings.

“This is one the first roads that Sali considered complete, but it took five more years to redesign the project from scratch, provide funding and the due compensation for the demolished buildings, because without addressing the compensation issue the road would have been not a tourist one at all, but merely a corridor running through illegal constructions along the lake’s shore. The project also included a series of other necessary interventions, the reconstruction of retaining walls and tunnels, which are part of the additional funding to finally build this entire panoramic line and the beach down the road. The new road’s construction has also had an impact on the tourists who have got very positive impressions. The lake’s road is now complete. It is not the lake across the road,” PM Rama said in his remarks.

“It is one of the most beautiful roads in the region,” the Minister of Infrastructure Damian Gjiknuri said.
