More than 25 percent of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline’s (TAP) route has so far been cleared and graded in Albania, TAP said on its Twitter page.

At the end of 2016, TAP AG completed the first phase of road infrastructure rehabilitation in this country.

It starts in the municipality of Devolli, in the Korcca region, at the Albanian border with Greece, and arrives at the Adriatic coast 17 km north-west of Fier, 400 meters inland from the shoreline.
