Liberals criticize GR's delay in creating access to the highway near the Água de Pena Sports Park

Funchal Notícias31 August 2026 at 15:05

The Liberal Initiative considered it unacceptable that the Regional Government has not yet fulfilled the promise to construct an access to the highway near the Água de Pena Sports Park in Machico. The liberals point out that this infrastructure was promised but never actually executed.

The party states that it has been warning about the need for this intervention for more than two years, emphasizing the importance that this infrastructure would have for the region. The Liberal Initiative stresses that the construction of this access was identified as a priority need.

The Água de Pena Sports Park is located in Machico, a municipality in the eastern part of the island of Madeira. The absence of this direct access to the highway has been pointed out as a gap that affects the park's users and the local population.
