From Tirana to Durres by train in 20 minutes
Rebuilding of the 34 km stretch of railway between Durres and Tirana is progressing and most of the civil engineering works have now been completed
Once the railway has been rebuilt and the new trains have arrived, travelling between Albania’s two largest cities will take only 20 minutes.
The railway reconstruction is financed by the EBRD, with a loan of €36.9 million, and the EU, with an investment grant of up to €35.5 million. An additional €2.75 million in grants from bilateral donors have been secured through the Western Balkans Investment Framework.
