Shëngjin–Velipojë Road Boosts Coastal Connectivity and Tourism Development

The Shëngjin–Velipojë road is increasingly attracting visitors due to the scenic views it offers. It has emerged as one of Albania’s most panoramic coastal routes.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared panoramic sunset images of the road on social media. The new route connects the coastal areas of Shëngjin and Velipojë. Rama referred to the view as a “moving painting” of the Shëngjin–Velipojë road.
The road begins at the Port of Shëngjin and ascends a hillside reaching 100–120 meters above sea level. It preserves the natural landscape, including Shëngjin Beach, the “Rana e Hedhun,” and other nearby beaches. From there, it links directly to Velipojë’s infrastructure. The route thus unites two of the country’s major tourist centers.
Improving existing road infrastructure and constructing new roads that connect urban centers with coastal tourist areas remains a key government priority.
