The Albania–Kosovo Highway is a four-lane highway. It is the longest motorway in Albania, spanning 110 kilometers (68 mi).

It was constructed from 2006 between Albania and Kosovo by the American-Turkish consortium Bechtel-ENKA, Austrian and Albanian companies. The highway starts near Lezhe, Albania, passes through Kukes as SH5, enters Kosovo as R7, and ends in Pristina near Gjergjica, Kosovo. As part of the South-East European Route 7, the highway will connect the Adriatic Sea ports of Durres and Shengjin in Albania via Pristina, with the E75/Corridor X near Niš, Serbia.

Dubbed the “patriotic highway”, the project links Albanians in Kosovo and Albania, helping to boost cultural and economic ties. The project is Albania's largest in decades, costing over one billion euros. It includes a six kilometer tunnel in Albania, making travel and trade easier for the hundreds of thousands of people vacationing in Albania during summer holidays and for business.

The A1 Motorway in Albania, also known as the Rruga e Kombit (Nation's Highway) refers to the road segments between Milot, Rrëshen, and Kalimash in Northern Albania part of the Durrës-Kukës-Corridor. In June 2009, the project was symbolically inaugurated with opening of the Kalimash - Thirrë Tunnel, while the whole project was only finished by July 2010,, and remaining portions by summer 2011.
