Map with all coordinates: The Rruga shtetërore SH2 ( Albanian for state road SH2 ) is a national road in Albania . As a four-lane, direction-separated motorway , it connects Durrës , Albania's largest port city , with the capital Tirana and is 33 kilometers long.
Route
The SH2 starts at the port of Durrës and leads first through the suburbs of Durrës , then past Shijak , Vora and Kamza to Tirana . It ends there in the northwestern district of Lapraka at the Sheshi Shqiponja roundabout with the streets Rruga Vangjel Noti , Rruga Dritan Hoxha and Rruga Teodor Keko .
The SH2 is the traffic-technical backbone of the Tirana-Durrës metropolitan region . On the one hand, it serves as the most important connecting axis between the largest agglomerations in Albania. In addition, large industrial areas have emerged along this street, where logistics companies, service companies, shopping centers (including Citypark Albania , QTU Tirana ), hotels and government agencies have settled.
Expansion status
On the first seven kilometers from Tirana, the construction of a four-lane, separate road began in 1994. For a long time this was the only high-speed road in the country.
The SH2 was built in 2000 as a motorway-like road with four lanes and a hard shoulder on both sides and is considered the first motorway in Albania. It is the only Albanian national road that is completely four-lane and directionally separate, but not entirely free of intersections.
In 2007 a feeder road from the SH2 to Tirana Airport , the SH60 , was opened. This is also used as an alternative to the other two connection routes that lead from the SH2 to northern Albania.
Between Vora and Tirana, two side roads were also built on both sides of the motorway, which accommodate the entrances and exits to the motorway. A similar one is also being built as far as Durrës.
