Although we are in April, in the spring season, the ride to this destination still stops in Thore's Qafa, as the way because of snow and ice becomes impassable, means tch broadcast.
The rest of the 15 miles [16 km] to Theth can only walk.
Residents of the area say the drug working on opening this road is very old and is impossible to clear the road.
Petit Shpella, owner of a hotel in Theth, says no one has been reminded of opening the road, though tourism is the only way to secure income in this area.
A month ago, the tendering procedure for the 16km-long Qafe Thore-Theth Road was launched that links one of the most beautiful areas of the Alps with Boga and Shkodra. The investment will be implemented by the Albanian Development Fund under the “Regional and Local Freeways” project on behalf of the Albanian government and the World Bank.
The project on this road is part of investments stemming from the Tourism Sector Plan for the Albanian Alps Region, which, along with tourism marketing strategy and the local infrastructure investment programme, constitute what is known as the Alps Masterplane.
Among other things, the project envisions asphalt width of 4-4.75m, and at 3 most dangerous road points will be built 3 tunnels from 2030m to secure protection from avalanches.
