SH 2 (Albania)
highway in Albania
The Albanian State Road 2 (SH2), (Albanian: Rruga Shteterore 2) is a dual carriageway in Albania linking the port city of Durrës with the metropolis and the capital Tirana. The road was the first highway to be reconstructed in Albania, following the Fall of Communism in 1991.
Route
The National Road SH2 begins at the Port of Durrës in Durrës, at the Dajlani Overpass (Albanian: Ura e Dajlanit), bypasses Shijak, intersects with SH52 in Vorë, bypasses the road to Tirana International Airport, and ends at the Kamza Overpass (Albanian: Mbikalimi i Kamzës) in the outskirts of Tirana where it meets National Road SH1 heading to northern Albania. Once entering Tirana, the highway becomes the street named Rruga 29 Nëntori.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “SH 2 (Albania)”, the useful work is to connect “highway in Albania” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 15, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q1282364. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1991.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
