Thousands of trucks prohibited from circulating on the VCI from this Tuesday

Jornal de Negócios15 September 2026 at 07:29

Thousands of trucks are prohibited from circulating on the VCI (Inner Beltway) from this Tuesday. This restriction applies to heavy goods vehicles weighing over 12 tonnes.

The measure comes with the aim of bringing relief to the intense traffic that has been recorded on this important circulation route linking Porto and Gaia. The VCI is one of the busiest roads in the Northern region.

Trucks affected by the ban will have to use alternative routes to cross the two cities. Authorities expect that the reduction in heavy traffic will contribute to smoother circulation.

The implementation of this restriction is expected to have a significant impact on the quality of life of residents in areas adjacent to the VCI, reducing noise, pollution, and congestion that were frequent on that road.

Why this matters

Readers who travel on the VCI daily can expect less congestion and shorter travel times, while transport companies will have to reorganize routes and logistics, potentially increasing operational costs and delivery times in the region. This restriction follows previous traffic management measures on what is one of the busiest roads in the Porto metropolitan area.

Building for those who need it

Portugal faces a housing deficit of 300,000 homes accumulated over the last decade, with 59,000 pre-certified units that were not built in the last three years. The article argues that this situation is not the result of speculation or greed on the part of real estate developers, but rather of economic unviability caused by taxation (which represents approximately 40% of the final value of a home), by the unpredictability of licensing processes, and by excessive bureaucracy. The private sector argues that there is no alternative to private investment in a country where the public housing stock represents only 2% of the total, and that the tax reforms approved by the Government are beginning to address these problems, making it viable to build housing for middle-income families.
