The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has issued a public advisory regarding temporary traffic modifications scheduled for June 5, 2026. The necessary adjustments are due to the staging of the International Cycling Race, which will impact the flow of traffic on the “Arbën Xhaferi” highway. Authorities have announced that one lane of the highway will be temporarily closed for the duration of the event.
The restricted segment covers the stretch from the Lipjan entrance/exit toward Hani i Elezit, extending up to the Bibaj entrance/exit. This closure is scheduled to take effect starting at 1:00 PM and is expected to conclude at 5:00 PM, coinciding with the completion of the cycling race. Motorists intending to travel toward Hani i Elezit are advised to plan for detours.
Specifically, vehicles should utilize the Lipjan entrance/exit to depart the main highway system. From this point, travelers must proceed via the designated national road connecting Prishtinë and Hani i Elezit. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport requests the cooperation and understanding of all citizens and participants who will be using the roadways during this period of necessary infrastructure management.
These measures are implemented to ensure the safety of participants and the general public during the international sporting event. Drivers are urged to allow for additional travel time and adhere strictly to posted signage directing traffic flow around the affected highway section.

I hope the detour plans are communicated clearly to minimize disruption for regular commuters.
