Aveiro tests closing Eça de Queirós Street to traffic for one week

Notícias de Coimbra14 September 2026 at 15:27

Rua Eça de Queirós, located in Aveiro, will be closed to traffic between December 16th and 22nd. The closure is part of a test carried out by the Aveiro City Council to evaluate the impact of eliminating car traffic on this city artery.

The objective of this experience is to understand how the pedestrianization of the street can contribute to improving mobility and safety conditions in the area. During the test period, citizens will be able to walk and cycle along the street, which is normally a very busy passing route.

The Aveiro municipal authority intends to collect data and hear the population about this possible change, before making any definitive decision about the future of Rua Eça de Queirós. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote sustainable mobility in the city center.

Why this matters

The residents and merchants of Rua Eça de Queirós will be directly affected by the temporary access change, and should adapt to alternative routes during the test period. The pilot experience represents a growing trend of pedestrianization in urban centers and its result could influence future mobility policies in the city.
