Bad weather continues to bring problems to our country.
The Elbasan-Gjinar road axis is facing traffic difficulties this morning due to the large presence of water and mud along the entire road.
In some segments, water leaks and soil deposits have made vehicle passage dangerous, forcing drivers to travel at low speeds and with increased caution.
This situation has a direct impact on the Gjinar municipal unit, which includes the villages of Lleshan, Gjinar, Valesh, Pashtresh, Derstile, Llukan, Sterstan, Xibresh, Maskarth, Kaferr and Pobrat. Residents of these areas and drivers of vehicles using this road axis are facing daily difficulties in moving and transporting basic services.
Local authorities are expected to intervene to clear the road and normalize traffic, but until then, drivers are advised to exercise increased caution, especially during rainy hours or at night.

In Lezha, flows from streams and rivers have increased significantly, but so far no problems have been observed.
The water level from the Old Buna Bridge is below the danger level, as are the Drin, Kir, and Gjadër rivers, despite increased flows. The situation also appears stable in the Shtodër reservoir.
The Vilu and Cas dams are in operation with 5 pumps each and are ready to operate at full capacity.
In Malësia e Madhe, moderate rainfall continues. The village of Flaka continues to be blocked due to the flow of the Përroi. Electricity supply is problematic in some areas, mainly in Kelmend and Shkrel.
In Vau e Dejës, the Gjadër River has overflowed its banks, causing water levels to rise in the "Kapedani" neighborhood.
In Fushë-Arrëz there are landslides and rockfalls on several rural roads.
There are no road traffic problems in Shkodra, but Postriba and Kelmendi are without electricity, which is being worked on.
Si pasojë e rritjes së prurjeje në kaskadën e Drinit, ka nisur shkarkimi i kontrolluar nga HEC-et e Komanit dhe Vau të Dejës.
Kryeministri Edi Rama ka publikuar pamjet, ndërsa në një postim në rrjetin social, shkruan se aktualisht po shkarkohet një sasi prej 700 m³/sekondë, përveç prodhimit, shkarkime këto të monitoruara dhe të menaxhuara nga specialistët e hidrocentraleve.
“Bashkia Shkodër është në koordinim të vazhdueshëm me KESH për menaxhimin e situatës dhe minimizimin e çdo rreziku të mundshëm për zonat e territorit të bashkisë, ndërsa deri në këto momente nuk është evidentuar asnjë problematikë”, shkruan Rama.
Situata po monitorohet pasi shkarkimi i ujrave nga HEC-et më parë kanë krijuar probleme në Shkodër, duke përmbytur zona të qytetit.

Reshjet e shiut me intensitet të lartë kanë përfshirë të gjithë territorin e Qarkut Kukës. Si pasojë, në disa segmente të akseve rrugore nacionale është evidentuar rrezik nga rënia e gurëve dhe materialeve inerte.
Situata më e theksuar sipas Prefekturës Kukës është konstatuar në akset rrugore nacionale të Bashkisë Tropojë, konkretisht në rrugën Bajram Curri–Valbonë, ku janë regjistruar rënie gurësh dhe vërshime uji në disa segmente të saj.
Ekipet e subjekteve kontraktore kanë qenë në terren gjatë gjithë kohës, duke ndërhyrë për pastrimin dhe mirëmbajtjen e rrugës, veçanërisht në segmentet më problematike të aksit Bajram Curri–Valbonë.
Aktualisht, qarkullimi në këtë aks rrugor, si dhe në të gjitha akset e tjera rrugore nacionale në Qarkun Kukës, zhvillohet normalisht. Sipas raportimeve nga bashkitë Kukës, Has dhe Tropojë, nuk ka situata emergjente apo problematika të shtuara. Furnizimi me energji elektrike në Qarkun Kukës është pothuajse i plotë, me përjashtim të 16 abonentëve në Njësinë Administrative Tropojë e Vjetër, Bashkia Tropojë.
Prefektura Kukës njofton se strukturat përgjegjëse vijojnë të jenë në monitorim të vazhdueshëm të situatës dhe janë të gatshme të ndërhyjnë menjëherë në rast të përkeqësimit të kushteve apo shfaqjes së problematikave të reja, në bashkëpunim me emergjencat civile të tre bashkive të qarkut.
Durrës is one of the cities hardest hit by the bad weather, with streets turning into rivers.
The following video shows one of the streets of the coastal city, completely covered in water. The footage is making rounds on social media, while the Municipality of Durres seems completely out of control in getting the situation under control.
Concreting, lack of investment, or incompetence have turned the city of Durrës into one of the most at risk whenever there is rainfall.
Bad weather has affected several cities in Albania, causing flooding, traffic difficulties and disruption of classes in some schools.

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.
The Traffic Police announces that in order 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 Durrës, the crossing will be made from the university road, towards Spitalla and on the "Tirana–Elbasan–Rrogozhinë" road.
The Police 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.

Bad weather 'paralyzes' Albania, classes canceled in some schools
The bad weather that has engulfed our country has caused problems in several cities, with the most severe situation occurring in Durrës and Lezha.
In Durrës, the most problematic situation is in the area around the stadium, the hospital and NISH Tulla, where heavy rainfall has caused flooding. Meanwhile, the teaching process has been suspended throughout the Durrës region, while the courtyard of Aleksandër Moisiu University is under the 'power' of water.
In Lezha, the underground sewers could not cope with the high level of flows, causing flooding in the "Besëlidhja" neighborhood. The most problematic situation was in the "11 Janari" and "11.2 Hectare" residential blocks, where the water level reached several centimeters, blocking the entrances to the buildings and making it difficult for citizens and vehicles to move.
Meanwhile, due to the presence of water in the outdoor areas, the teaching process has been suspended at the 9-year school "Kosova" and "Gjergj Fishta", while the numerous flows of the Drin River have flooded the state school in the "Skënderbeg" neighborhood.
Unpredictable rainfall and flows from side rivers have also increased the water level in the hydropower plants of the Drini cascade. Water discharges from the Koman and Vau i Dejës hydropower plants continue.
Currently, according to data from the Municipality of Shkodra and the Emergency Headquarters in the Prefecture, there is no risk of flooding. The Fierza Hydropower Plant is currently at a level of 280 meters, out of 296 meters, which is the maximum allowed capacity, continuing to operate within controlled parameters.
Meanwhile, in Kurbin Municipality, the rainfall has been intense throughout the night, with moderate and sometimes high intensity, accompanied by lightning. So far, only one case of flooding of a family in Milot has been reported, while the canals are at high levels and emergency workers are monitoring the situation. In the village of Adriatik, several hectares of land are under water and several homes are surrounded by water. In the village of Fushë Mamurras, classes have been suspended.
In the Mirditë Municipality, the rainfall has been intense, but so far there have been no serious problems for housing. The Zalli Zmesë River near the city has risen, but there is no risk of flooding, while some peripheral areas of Rrëshen are facing a power shortage.

Bad weather has created problems in vehicle traffic on some of the country's road axes.
As a result of continuous rainfall, there have been landslides of rocks and debris on the Burrel-Skuraj national road, creating a risk for vehicle traffic.
Massive landslides have been recorded near the Ulza bridge, as well as near sector C, while similar problems have been observed in other segments of this road.
During the night hours, traffic was only moving on one side, as the road from Burreli towards Milot was blocked in several segments, significantly hindering the movement of vehicles.
This road segment remains problematic whenever it rains, due to the constant sliding of rocks from the mountain slope.
The lack of signage, side guards, and the worn-out condition of the road with numerous potholes further increases the risk for drivers.
A small deviation from the road can have serious consequences, as there is a risk of the vehicle ending up in Lake Shkopet.
The situation is also worsened by flooding on the road, as well as in the Shkopet tunnel, which makes traffic even more difficult.
Currently, the road maintenance company is on site and is working to clear stones and debris from the road, while drivers are advised to exercise increased caution while driving on this road.
Heavy rainfall of high intensity has engulfed the city of Durrës this Tuesday, causing numerous floods and traffic difficulties.
As a result, several road axes have been covered by water, becoming completely impassable for vehicles and pedestrians.
In some areas, water has penetrated the entrances of buildings and businesses along the roadside.

Bad weather and heavy rainfall that fell overnight have caused problems in several areas of the city of Lezha.
The situation is more problematic in the "Besëlidhja" neighborhood, as well as at several school entrances, where the water level has reached several centimeters, making it difficult for pedestrians and vehicles to move around.
The waterlogging is a result of intense rainfall, and while no damage has been reported, the situation has created concerns for residents and parents of students.
Local authorities indicate that this problem is expected to be finally resolved with the completion of the water and wastewater network rehabilitation project, which has been implemented for several months in the city of Lezha and aims to improve flood management in cases of intense rainfall.
