9h. Trucks without destination to Porto and Gaia prohibited on VCI

Observador15 September 2026 at 09:21

Trucks without destination to the cities of Porto and Gaia are prohibited from circulating on the VCI (Via de Cintura Interna), according to a measure announced that aims to relieve traffic on these urban roads.

The prohibition applies to goods vehicles with gross weight exceeding 3,500 kilograms, that is, heavy goods transport vehicles.

Civil Protection also anticipates much work in combating the fire ongoing in Proença-a-Nova, indicating that the firefighting operations will continue to require significant resources.

Why this matters

Readers in the Porto and Gaia region who drive heavy vehicles need to know about this prohibition to plan alternative routes. Residents and forest owners in Proença-a-Nova and neighboring municipalities face the effects of a fire that is still not under control.
