Works on international bridge between Nisa and Cedillo should start in October - council leader

The mayor of Nisa, José Dinis Serra, announced that works on the international bridge over the Sever River, connecting Nisa to Cedillo in the Spanish Extremadura, should begin in October, after the resolution of 21 environmental conditions from the Environmental Impact Assessment. The investment is 19.5 million euros, funded by the PRR, and the work also includes the requalification of nine kilometres of the EM 1139. The mayor criticized the "conservative interpretation" of ICNF, which delayed the project for months, and asked the PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, that when he becomes prime minister, he attend to projects of national interest. The new bridge will reduce the road journey between Montalvão and Cedillo by 85 kilometres.
