New Albanian motorway

A huge and important project that will provide a vital connection between Albania and the new Republic of Kosova, started a few years ago and still underway in the northern, most treacherous, mountainous areas of Albania, is coming to fruition.

The breakthrough of the tunnel between the two countries was celebrated by the respective Prime Ministers just a week ago. The challenges of this projects are immense. The following recent articles on N.C.E. (New Civil Engineer) English web site provide, with an overview, some excellent details and beautiful pictures of this engineering endeavor.
