This Project is being prepared in partnership with “iC Consulenten Ziviltechniker GesmbH”, “ELEA iC d.o.o” “IBE d.d.” and “InfraKonsult” Sh.p.k. The Llogara Tunnel is located in the Southern Albania, part of road section SH-8, which bears the most complicated terrain and the worst road conditions, with a very low traffic capacity and a poor level of service, giving rise to a great driving risk, especially during rainy or snowy weather in winter. The project aims first and foremost to address the SH8 road traffic safety issue in the ridge section. It will also aim at promoting local tourism development, improving port clusters construction, and upgrading distribution system. The project consists on the design of the approx. 7.4 km road, including approx. 6 km long tunnel and 2 bridges. The Tunnel is scheduled to adopt a speed of 50-80 km/h and a one carriageway – 2 lanes, with a width of 12.8m, as well as an emergency tunnel. The service include:
