Road collapse forces road closure

Diário de Leiria13 September 2026 at 15:45

A road collapse forced the closure of traffic on the road leading to Leiria train station. The road was closed due to the risk posed by the road collapse, which may have been caused by adverse weather conditions or infrastructure deterioration.

Local authorities recommend that drivers avoid the affected area and seek alternative routes while repair and damage assessment work continues. Rail traffic at the station may also be indirectly affected if passengers cannot access the location.

The responsible entities are proceeding with the inspection and stabilization of the collapsed area to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. A date for the reopening of the road has not yet been announced.

Why this matters

Readers in the Leiria region face significant disruptions to their daily commutes, as a main road accessing the train station is impassable. This situation can affect both local residents and travelers using this rail infrastructure, and they are likely to stay informed about the progress of repair work and the timeline for reopening the road.

Found a coin wedged in your car windshield? Find out what it means and how to protect yourself

An article warned about a technique used to steal vehicles in which criminals place a coin, usually one or two euros, between the windshield and the wiper blade to spark the driver's curiosity and make them leave the vehicle. When the driver abandons the cabin to check the object, leaving the engine running and the key inside, it creates an opportunity for the car to be taken. The publication recommends that before getting out to check any object, the driver should stop in a safe place, turn off the engine, take the key, and lock the car.

The Curse of the Bridge of the Infante

Amadeu Nogueira, whose son Alfredo died after falling from Infante Bridge in Porto in 2004, fought a years-long legal battle demanding the installation of higher safety barriers on the bridge, which has recorded over 70 deaths since its opening in 2003. Despite receiving no response from the authorities contacted, Amadeu filed a lawsuit against Metro do Porto SA, the company responsible for constructing the crossing, arguing that the lack of effective protections and the insufficient height of the guardrails (1.10 metres) facilitated suicides and accidents. Metro defends that it complied with all legal standards, while legislation regarding bridge railings is being questioned.
