Albanian Road Authority Allocates €4.8 Million for National Highway Signage and Safety Upgrades

The Albanian Road Authority (ARRSH) opened three procurement procedures totaling about 474.7 million lek (approximately €4.8 million) to improve road signage and safety equipment on major national routes. Funding is split among the North, South and Central‑East regions, with the largest share earmarked for the Southern region (Lot 3, €187.46 million lek). Projects include installing or replacing protective barriers, upgrading horizontal and vertical signage, lighting key intersections, and repairing bridge gaps on key corridors such as the Shkodër bypass, Vau i Dejës–Pukë–Kthesa e Hadrojit, and the Mbrostar–Levan highway segment. The Central‑East works cover intersections and road sections around Librazhd, Pogradec–Korçë and other critical links. The procurement aims to address poor retro‑reflectivity, vandalism, aging signs and safety gaps identified through field inspections and traffic flow analysis.
