Albania is a relatively small country that has recently gone through several transitional phases. As such it has a growing economy and in the last few years infrastructure projects, play an important role, in development. Due to a need for connection corridors in the country as well as internationally, new roads are being opened. The country has a difficult terrain that often can become a hindrance to such projects. This has lead the way to the use of new geotechnical and engineering solutions and technology. The Fier‐Tepelene junction is one of the first projects where new engineering methods were utilized, notwithstanding the fact that this is one of the largest projects in Albania. This will be a study of how slopes were reinforces throughout this road axes and what has been the impact of these technologies in following projects.
