industries and economies
Expanding the regional economy: The Kosovo Motorway
Shortly after Kosovo declared independence in 2008, the new
government made plans to build two transformational motor-
ways that would strengthen the country’s economic future by
enabling trade, travel, and tourism. The government chose a
Bechtel-ENKA team to deliver them.
The first motorway, Route 7, was completed in 2013 and connected
the capital of Pristina to Albania. In 2019, the team completed
Route 6, a 40-mile (65-kilometer) four-lane motorway from Pristina
to North Macedonia.
At the peak of Route 6 construction, Bechtel-ENKA was the largest
employer in Kosovo. Eighty percent of the 3,350-person work-
force were Kosovan, and 70 percent of subcontracted work was
awarded to local contractors. Local employees also received
approximately 100,000 hours of training for future career growth.
The job was not without its challenges. Mid-construction, risks
around the integrity of the slopes were discovered, leading to a
rethinking of roadway alignment. The team opted to build a series
of viaducts across the valleys at various heights and lengths,
with the longest spanning 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers). To maintain
schedule, they used pre-cast concrete and changed the develop-
ment process and construction sequencing.
The Bechtel-ENKA team also partnered with Kosovo’s Ministry
of Environment to restore 6 miles (10 kilometers) of the Lepence
river, which had been used as a trash dump. The water quality
improvement processes used have since inspired new environ-
mental standards for the country.
