IP3 will have several sections cut between Coimbra and Viseu

Observador4 September 2026 at 13:47

The IP3 will have several sections cut between Coimbra and Viseu, causing disruptions to road traffic on this route. The interruptions are due to the carrying out of an intervention on the expansion joints of the bridge over the Dão river. This intervention is probably aimed at the maintenance and conservation of the bridge infrastructure.

Additionally, the IP3 duplication project is underway, specifically on the section between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu. This expansion work represents a significant investment in improving traffic conditions on a road that connects two important cities in the central region of Portugal.

Drivers who use this route should be aware of the scheduled closures and plan their journeys in advance, considering possible detours and delays caused by these works.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by victims' families, embassy representatives, security forces and the Patriarch of Lisbon, with the City Council President, Carlos Moedas, describing the day as "very sad" for Lisbon.
