The Albanian Road Authority (ARRSH) announced that, due to the implementation of the “Expansion of the Tirana–Durrës Highway” project, a traffic management plan involving temporary restrictions will come into effect.

On August 6 and 7, 2026, between 00:00 and 04:30, metal beams will be installed on the new Kashar overpass. To ensure road safety during the work, the two lanes of the main route in the Durrës–Tirana direction will be closed.

During this period, vehicles traveling from Durrës toward Tirana, “Mother Teresa” International Airport and Kosovo will be diverted via the ramps of the Thumanë–Kashar highway.

Vehicles heading to the airport and Kosovo will continue along the Kashar–Thumanë highway. Meanwhile, vehicles traveling to Tirana will be directed by temporary road signs onto the secondary road and will rejoin the Durrës–Tirana highway after passing the Kashar overpass.

Traffic on the Durrës-Tirana highway was severely disrupted around midday on Monday after two accidents occurred on opposite sides of the road. A total of eight vehicles were involved in the collisions, creating long queues and obstructing traffic.

The more serious accident occurred near Sukth, in the direction of Tirana, where seven vehicles collided. According to preliminary information from drivers at the scene, two cars were initially involved in a crash, while several meters farther on, five other vehicles were involved in a chain-reaction collision.

Meanwhile, at almost the same time, another accident was reported on the Tirana-Durrës side, near Maminas. The two incidents caused an almost complete blockage of the highway, while the line of vehicles stuck in traffic stretched to the entrance of Tirana.

The Durrës Police said that no one was injured in either accident and that only material damage was caused. Traffic police services remain at the scene, taking measures to restore normal traffic flow and investigating to fully determine the causes and circumstances of the collisions.
