Águas do Centro Litoral invests 5.5 ME to make infrastructure in the Lis basin resilient

Região de Leiria10 September 2026 at 18:45

Águas do Centro Litoral (AdCL) will invest 5.5 million euros to make infrastructure in the Lis river basin resilient. The investment comes in response to problems identified in the region that require urgent interventions.

The president of AdCL stated that the company has observed that the bed of the Lis river is excavating certain banks more rapidly. This accelerated erosion represents a significant risk to existing infrastructure in the area.

According to the official, this situation may be related to a continuation of harsh winters. Adverse climatic conditions have been worsening the erosion phenomenon on the river banks, requiring intervention measures.

The 5.5 million euro investment aims precisely to reinforce the protection of infrastructure and mitigate the effects of accelerated erosion in the Lis basin, ensuring greater resilience against extreme weather conditions.

Do you see this sign on the road? There are cases where parking in these zones can result in fines

The "Kiss and Go" or "Kiss & Ride" zones, like the "Beijinho e Siga" initiative implemented by the Municipality of Sesimbra, are intended for quick stops to pick up or drop off passengers, especially near schools. Although the inscription on these signs does not constitute, by itself, an autonomous infraction under the Road Code, parking in these zones can result in fines when specific rules are violated, such as double parking (30 to 150 euros), exceeding time limits, or blocking access to properties (60 to 300 euros). The distinction between stopping and parking is fundamental: remaining inside the vehicle while waiting does not automatically constitute legal stopping, as the classification depends on the specific conditions of the location and the existing signage.
