@pglux.bsky.social nothing. I can tell you that. Was there in 2024.

@jon This you?

How have they resolved the issue on the road to Kamez, I wondered
It’d need a level crossing on a dual carriageway
Ah. They haven’t.

Right then. Let’s find Albania’s railway to be! Tirana section today, airport and Durres sections tomorrow.
Yo! I lived there for a year. It was nuts. Are they really building a railway?

@jon To be fair in Albania you can cycle anywhere even on the highways (at least 10 years ago) along with the everything else (donkeys/horse carriages)

@pvdrijst Yes. But it’s a nerve wracking experience!

@jon well, looks like a spot where you have to jump over the cars with that “ramp”. Innovation!

And to those going "use the concrete ramp to jump the car", well, there are limits to what I can do on a folding bike

@jon Nobody expects you to do a backflip on a folding bike, but a quick mid-air fold should be possible, even with panniers and a water bottle

@jon I found the amount of traffic low, but have not been in Tirana, and it was 10 years ago. It's never like home where you're used to the amount of traffic.

@pvdrijst I have been here in 2019, 2024 and now, and the level of traffic has always been hellish. Cycling in the north in 2024 - to the border with Montenegro - was fine in comparison!

Between Laprakë (where a railway station is being built) and the centre of Tirana, the alignment of the old railway crosses a highway
Good: they have at least made provision for a bridge (see the metal parts that will become supports)
Bad: they're going to make maximum a single track line. Contrast that with a six lane highway!

@bashoneliner Ha!
