Prime Minister Edi Rama has chosen to promote the progress of works on the Elbasan–Qafë Thanë axis, a segment which, according to his official version, is expected to shorten and modernize the connection of Korçë and the entire southeast with the rest of the country.
Rama’s post on the road axis
In a post with photos from the construction site, Rama said works are continuing at a high pace on the Elbasan–Qafë Thanë axis.
The prime minister’s message presents the project as an investment that will make traffic faster, safer and more modern for the Korçë area and the southeast.
What the government promises
According to the prime minister’s statement, this axis will directly affect the connection of the southeast with the rest of the country.
However, the public statement gave no further details on concrete deadlines, the full phase of the works, or measurable elements that would show how much travel time will actually improve.
The investment is presented as an infrastructure priority
The Elbasan–Qafë Thanë axis is one of the segments the government has often put in focus when talking about road infrastructure and links with the southeast.
For the moment, the public communication made by the head of government remains focused on promoting the progress of the works and the expected benefits that he claims for this investment.
In the absence of fuller data on cost, deadlines and concrete impact on the ground, Rama’s statement remains a political promise linked to a road project that the government is presenting as important for the country’s southeast.
