Due to extreme heat, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport announced that there will be a temporary ban today for heavy goods vehicles exceeding a gross weight of 20 tons on the country’s motorways.

According to the official announcement, the measure takes effect at 11:00 and will remain active until 17:30, as weather forecasts indicate temperatures will reach or exceed the 32 degrees Celsius threshold, which poses a risk of asphalt damage.

The ministry clarifies that this measure affects only motorways, while heavy-tonnage vehicles can continue to travel without restrictions on all national, regional, and connecting roads.

Exempted from this rule are police vehicles, public security vehicles, emergency services, and vehicles of health institutions.

Urging businesses and drivers to strictly comply with this decision, authorities ask that journeys be planned taking into account the set schedule, with the aim of ensuring road safety and protecting infrastructure.

According to the official announcement, from 07:00 until 24:00, traffic will be prohibited on the secondary axis of the Durrës–Tirana highway, from the “Eiffel” area to “Casa Italia.” This segment will operate only as an exit route for businesses operating in the area.

During the same time interval, the exit lane of the Durrës–Tirana highway at the “Casa Italia” roundabout will also be blocked.

Meanwhile, from 12:00 until 24:00, traffic will not be allowed on the “Casa Italia” – “Pavarësia” Street – “Sokrat Miho” Street segment, as well as on the “Sokrat Miho” Street – “Kasem Shima” Street – “7 Nëntori” Street segment, which will operate only as an exit route.

Police said that on the road from Ura e Institutit to “Casa Italia” there may also be partial traffic blockages, depending on the flow of participants, with the aim of managing traffic and ensuring the event is held safely.

During the restriction hours, only emergency vehicles and State Police vehicles will have access to the blocked areas.

Tirana Police are calling on citizens to show understanding, plan their movements in advance, use alternative routes, and follow the instructions of police officers deployed on the ground.
