In April 2002, reconstruction of the line between the Montenegrin border at Hani i Hotit and Bajzë were completed.
By March 2003, the line between Bajzë and Shkodër was completed with 365 million lek funded by the Albanian government.
As a sign of mutual cooperation, then-Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano and a then-Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister travelled to Tuzi in Montenegro on a special train operating on this line.
Long-term plans currently exist for the establishment and operation of passenger service on this railway.
There are other plans involving the construction of a new high-speed rail line between Podgorica and Shkodër.
