Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 11:51

The restrictions on the Via de Cintura Interna (VCI) in Porto come into effect this Tuesday, with the restriction in force between 07:00 and 21:00. The aim of this measure is to remove approximately 4,000 trucks from the city centre. Approximately 8,000 heavy goods vehicles passed through the VCI per day. The restriction applies to heavy goods vehicles and aims to reduce truck traffic in the central area of Porto.

Why this matters

Transport operators and logistics companies crossing Porto will need to find alternative routes for their operations. This measure follows concerns from authorities about traffic congestion and air quality in the city centre.
