As a member of a consortium overseen by the leading Italian partner IRD Engineering and together with the Italian company SUEZ Consulting Engineering, DRI will assist in the reform of the road sector and the road safety strategy in Albania.

The Contracting Authority is the European Union, represented by the European Commission, which signed the three-year contract worth over two million euros on behalf of Albania.

Under the contract, the management of traffic infrastructure will be reorganized, and a traffic safety management system will be established. This will enable optimal planning of infrastructure interventions, monitoring and evaluation of results, and assessment of potential deficiencies with proposals for their elimination.

The first part of the project includes support for the development and implementation of the road safety strategy for Albania, while the second part will provide professional support for the reform of the Albanian Road Administration, ARA. This will include:

  • the introduction of operational procedures using the ITS system,
  • employee training,
  • the development of a tolling system model,
  • preparation of tender documentation for the system implementation.

Experts from DRI will participate in areas of traffic safety, traffic management planning, and traffic infrastructure management systems.
