Figure 4.16 Transport and infrastructure development policies
Transport territorial policies
The implementation of transport policies
and the accomplishment of investments in
infrastructure are essential aspects in the
development of the Tirana-Durres region, in
terms of international interconnection, in the
efficient linkage of markets, as well as in the
movement of the population and goods in the
Balkans.
For the purposes of developing a combined
and sustainable transport, the Integrated
Cross-Sectorial Plan for the region aims
at combining land management policies in
urban and rural areas with spatial planning in
transport.
To achieve this goal in mobility, the aim is to
relate integrated transport modes, regional
strategic poles and urban centres, stimulating
the use of public transport means as well as
alternative modes of movement that do not
generate environmental pollution.
TP1- Strategic regional road networks
Strategic road networks will be strengthened
to promote the efficiency of connecting the
region to national and international axes,
enabling rapid and efficient access.
These axes will enable the mobility necessary
to avoid seasonal traffic, interurban traffic
transiting through the region, and to create
rapid access to urban centres links to regional
employment areas.
Entry gates and transport development
corridors that require efficient connection to
the network are:
Port of Durres - “North - South” highway
(GNP);
Port of Durres - Arbri road;
Port of Durres - Corridor VIII;
Port of Durres - Rruga e ‘Kombit”;
“Mother Teresa” airport - efficient air, sea and
land interconnection of freight and passengers.
