Heavy rain 'invades' the country, police appeal: Be careful, some
Tirana/ Durres

Since yesterday, almost the entire territory of the country has been under water due to heavy rainfall.

As a result, traffic has become difficult and some roads have been blocked.

The State Police appeals to drivers to exercise caution, while notifying citizens to divert traffic where the road is blocked.

Specifically, on the interurban road connecting Tirana with Durrës, in the area near the gas station at the entrance to Durrës, there is a high presence of water on both sides of the road, which makes normal vehicle movement impossible.

To avoid traffic and accidents, the Traffic Police announces that traffic will be diverted as follows:

Vehicles coming from the south towards Tirana should circulate from Rruga e Plepave to Ndroq and from the "Rrogozhinë–Elbasan–Tirana" road.

To reach Durrës, the crossing will be made from the university road, towards Spitalla and on the "Tirana–Elbasan–Rrogozhinë" road.

The Police also appeal to drivers to avoid unnecessary movements, to exercise maximum caution while driving, to follow the instructions of Police officers and to comply with road signs.

"The Traffic Police Services and General Patrols are taking measures to facilitate traffic flow and assist drivers. If you need assistance, call the toll-free number 112," the police statement said.
