The urban regeneration project of the Gjanica River in Fier is entering its final stage.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared new images of the river’s transformation. He said the project turns Gjanica from an environmental hazard into a modern urban promenade.

Most of the main section is now complete. The project has reduced pollution and eliminated the strong odor that affected the city for years.

The promenade stretches for about 5 kilometers, making it the longest riverside walkway in Albania. Construction continues on the final 2 kilometers.

The project includes two-level walkways, sidewalks, lighting, and expanded green areas on both sides of the river.

Once finished, the project will provide Fier with a major recreational space. It will also offer a long-term solution to environmental pollution and flood risks. The new promenade is expected to become a key urban attraction in southern Albania.
