The newest tourist trajectory of Durres starts at the Poplars’ flyover at the city gates, crosses the beach road towards the Taulantia promenade, to end to Currile area. In addition to sidewalks, it has been equipped with separate lanes for cars and bicycles. The entrance road to the city is part of this trajectory which has thoroughly transformed the space connecting the city with the beach, since it has created an uninterrupted waterfront in addition to relieving traffic at the city gates, especially in the summer season. After an investment of approximately 354 million ALL, the road is made available to residents, tourists and visitors of Durres.

Accompanied by Minister of Environment Lefter Koka and Mayor of Durres Vangjush Dako, Prime Minister Edi Rama inspected today this important investment for the coastline city, where pavement works for car lanes, the 7 kilometer bicycle lane as well as sidewalks have been finished. Meanwhile works are being carried out for the lighting system with 246 light poles, as well as 416 trees have been planted on both sides of the road.

Mayor of Durres Vangjush Dako considered the tourist trajectory as one of the most important investments for Durres, which was possible thanks to the support of the central government. “This road is part of the tourist trajectory of Durres. Interventions have been made for visitors coming from south, from the Poplars’ flyover, to continue with the beach road, the flyover of the bridge of Dajlan, this road, the Taulantia promenade, up to the area of Currila. This road, which is part of the very important tourist trajectory, will enable connection of the old city with the beach, and will be viable not only by cars but also by bicycles, since a 7 kilometer bicycle lane is made available to citizens of Durres.”

The Prime Minister said that this transforming project will be followed by other ambitious projects for Durres. “There is still a lot to do also for Durres but, if such big changes occurred in only 18 months thanks to Vangjush who didn’t waste time and prepared a lot of ambitious projects, there is no doubt that we will do a lot more in the next four years. This is certain, for projects are waiting in line, and the administration has already gained autonomy thanks also to experience and managerial persistence in this regard.”
