Whilst some of the country's roads are still in very poor condition, there have been other developments (such as the construction of a motorway between Tirana and Durrës) which have taken much traffic away from the railways.
Aínda que algunhas das estradas do país se atopan aínda nun estado moi pobre, houbo grandes avances como a construción dunha autoestrada entre Tirana e Durrës, que fixeron perder número de pasaxeiros aos ferrocarrís.
