Works force the closure of the Verride Bridge in Montemor-o-Velho

Notícias de Coimbra5 September 2026 at 09:42

The Verride Bridge, located in Montemor-o-Velho, will be closed to road traffic between September 7 and 18. The closure is due to infrastructure intervention work.

The Montemor-o-Velho municipality is responsible for managing the bridge and communicating traffic restrictions to road users. During this period, vehicles will not be able to cross the bridge, which will require the use of alternative routes.

The planned work is likely aimed at the maintenance or rehabilitation of the bridge structure, an old infrastructure that requires periodic interventions to ensure the safety of users.
