In a statement, the Infrastructures of Portugal said that the conditioning will take place until the 17th, in the framework of the work of doubling and requalifying the IP3 that is underway between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu.
Traffic will be diverted to the National Road 2, in both directions, between 9:00 and 5:00.
“Conditioning is necessary for carrying out transport and assembly of prefabricated beams and slabs, in the context of the enlargement and construction of works of art”.
This intervention is part of the work of doubling and requalifying the IP3 between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu.
The Infrastructures of Portugal reported that the section under intervention is located “between the kilometer 90,200, north of the No de Vila Pouca, and the kilometer 117,722, in the area of the upper passage of interception unveiled with the A25/IP5”, crossing territories of the municipalities of Santa Comba Dão, Tondela and Viseu, all in the district of Viseu.
