One month after a massive landslide covered one side of the Tirana-Elbasan highway with huge rocks, new landslides were seen this January, which shows that the area is very unstable.

The Albanian road authority has demanded a complete study of the site in order to find a final solution.

The geology study is complete and the report was sent to the Road Authority, which is cooperating with the World Bank for an intervention.

The vehicle movement continues through a bypass along one kilometre.

Initially, specialists decided to remove the rocks, but that could bring down the entire mountain slope.

The Tirana-Elbasan highway should have been finished by December 2017, but the recent events have prolonged not only the deadline but also the financial bill.
