CONSULGAL prepares the detailed design for the new connection to the Alfarelos Railway Terminal

CONSULGAL started, in July 2022, the study and detailed design of the access to the Alfarelos Railway Terminal – 2nd phase, for Infraestruturas de Portugal.

This new road access covers the municipalities of Montemor-o-Velho and Soure, namely the parishes of Montemor-o-Velho, Gatões and Ulmeiro, starting at the existing roundabout connecting the A 14 – Motorway Figueira da Foz/ Coimbra (North), and ending at the EN 347 roundabout which guarantees access to the Montemor-o-Velho High Performance Centre, adjacent to the Rowing Track.

The variant under study will make it possible to correct the road structure at the municipal and sub-regional scale, as well as to improve accessibility conditions to the TMIP and the rapidly developing industrial zones located south of the Mondego River.

It will, thus, constitute a quick connection corridor through the A14 to the A1 and IP3 (east) and the A 17 (west), and a mobilizing project for the region. It will also be key for reducing the negative impacts that affect the population residing in the urban area of ​​Montemor-o-Velho, which is buffeted by the constant crossing of vehicles, especially heavy load traffic.

The variant will involve an investment of around €23 million and will include an 800m long viaduct.
