Rreshen - Kalimash Motorway, Albania
The Project is a key connection between Durnes Port, Albania's primary harbor on the Adriatic Sea and Kosovo. In addition to the great amount of travel time saved, which will be 2 hours instead of 6 hours, this new route will serve to stimulate the economy in Albania's northeastern region.

The first section of the 61 km long highway is the 18 km long stretch from Rreshen to Reps. The 27 km Section 2 is from Reps to Thirra. 15 km long Section 3 is between Thirra and Kolshi where Mount Runes, at an altitude of 1,858 m, will be crossed with a 5.5 km, double bore tunnel. All construction works excluding one tube of the tunnel was completed in June 2009.

The Motorway is designed as dual carriageways of 2 X 3.75 m, supplemented with 2.0 m emergency shoulder lanes. The major work items comprise 21 million cubic meters of excavation, 8.5 million cubic meters of earth filling, 0.6 million cubic meters of concrete and shot crete, 1.0 million tonnes of subbase and cement treated base and 0.45 million tonnes of asphalt for the construction of the motorway of 61 km long with all bridges, viaducts and two tubes each of 5.5 km in length, on the challenging topography of the Albania mountains terrain at an altitude over 1,000 m.
