The bid for the Vlora and Fier bypass roads will be opened again within this year.
The European Bank for Development and Reconstruction has announced the start of competition procedures.
Sources from the Albanian Road Authority say that the process is expected to last two months, right after it is approved.
The efforts for building these key roads in Southern Albania have started in 2013. The total cost mounted up to 74.8 million EUR.
The Fier Bypass should have been complete by last April, while the Vlora one this year, but the winning Italian company “Serenissima” went bankrupt and interrupted the works. However, most of the Fier bypass work has been done.
The Road Authority says this road will be completed three months after the new agreement is signed. The Vlore bypass will take at least two other years.
