Fire at Monte da Lameira requires full closure of IP2 in the municipality of Portel

Road traffic on Itinerário Principal 2 (IP2) is entirely blocked in both directions due to a rural fire burning in the area of Monte da Lameira, in the parish of Monte do Trigo, in the municipality of Portel. Traffic was interrupted by authorities as a safety measure.

The decision to close the road was made due to the strong intensity of smoke and the proximity of the flames to the roadway, posing a risk to motorists traveling on the road.

Traffic is blocked between the Reguengos de Monsaraz Junction, located at kilometre 272 of the road, and another unspecified point in the article. This interruption affects all vehicles wishing to travel on this road in the district of Évora.

Why this matters

Readers who use IP2 in this region of Alentejo face mandatory detours and significant delays in road traffic. The complete closure of the main road represents a direct impact on local and regional travel, affecting both residents and those passing through the area. The situation follows an active rural fire that continues to pose danger in the vicinity of the road.
