Archived 12 September 2026A planned tender is not a construction start or completion date. Residents and businesses should keep using current routes until official traffic changes are announced.
- The environmental-impact process is expected to reach a decision stage in November 2026.
- The indicative investment is €175 million.
- The project design is still being completed before procurement can begin.
A project still before procurement
The announced sequence is project completion, environmental procedure and then the public-works tender. Each stage can affect the design, conditions and calendar.
The €175 million figure is an estimate attached to the current plan. It is not a final contract price and does not establish when the road will open.
Plan around the current network
Property, freight or commuting decisions should be tested against the roads that exist today. Future infrastructure may improve access, but tendering, challenges, works and commissioning all carry uncertainty.
Follow Infraestruturas de Portugal and environmental-procedure notices for formal milestones rather than relying on a political timetable alone.
What you can do now.
- 01
Use current journey times for immediate decisions.
- 02
Follow the environmental decision and procurement notice.
- 03
Do not treat the second quarter of 2027 as a works-completion date.
