Thethi’s Road – Traffic Limited

Dec 30, 2019 | Blogs from Albanian Alps

Important information – notice about the transfers to/from Thethi

GPG Company ltd has been contracted and started works from the end of August, on the reconstruction of the last 16 unpaved kilometers. The works are on process and are expected to be finished in a period of ten months.

The reconstructions on the road will make possible to have:

A paved road within all the EU standards;
It will shorten the time to reach Thethi with 1 hour less;
Reachable from all the normal cars;
A two senses road;
Higher security with a lot of art works;
Probably this will affect even the actual costs of transport.

Starting from 1^ October to 30 of November the Company informed the block of the road for 2 km on the segment close to Peak of Thore.

The traffic limitation will be from 08.00 – 12.00 a.m. and 14.00 – 18.00 a.m.

What does this mean? What are the transport options at this point?

The traffic will be possible just for two hours at the peak of Thore at lunchtime, from 12.00 h. – 14.00 h. So, you have to be at the peak of Thore and cross the road at this time. In order to do this, you have to calculate that the time needed from Shkodra to the peak of Thore is 1.5 hours. Same time then from there to down valley.

If you have a rental car you need to respect this time table and yet need to have a 4WD or an SUV because the last 16 km are still unpaved.

As per consequence the departure of the minivans from Shkodra will start around 06.30 am and will reach Thethi around 09.30 am. The return back will start from 11.30 a.m. and reach Shkodra around 14.30 a.m.

Other options that we can help arranged with private drivers or contacting us for transfers in the early morning or late afternoon for those that can not catch the minivans timetable.

The actual costs of the transport are 10 eur/ticket one way; 60 Eur for a private car in total for one way.

We will keep you informed of any news about the access road to Thethi.
