Rotas do Algarve have confirmed that as of this Saturday, December 7th, “normal road traffic conditions” at Ponte Nova, will be restored.
The traffic on the bridge over the Arade River, located on the EN125 between Portimão and Lagoa, has been affected by temporary traffic lights and alternate traffic flow since mid September, causing long traffic queues.
The inspection work on the bridge’s tie rods, has now been successfully completed.
However, work by Lagoa Council is scheduled to begin on Monday 9th December, on Rua Infante de Sagres, in Parchal, a main route leading to Ponte Velha in Portimão, meaning that road traffic in this area will be restricted.
