Project presented for access to the E80 via the EN16, designed by CONSULGAL

On 21 August 2025, Viseu Municipal Council held a public presentation of the project for access to the E80 and the Coimbrões Business Park (AAE) via the A25, through the redevelopment of the EN16, designed by CONSULGAL.

This presentation, attended by CONSULGAL, took place at Solar dos Peixotos, headquarters of the Viseu Municipal Assembly, and allowed the media and the community in general to learn about the content of the structural road intervention for access to that city, in a project that involves the redevelopment of the EN16 between the roundabout providing access to the village of Barbeita and the junction providing access to the E80/A25, including the doubling of lanes, the construction of new roundabouts and the introduction of cycle paths and pavements along the entire route, and the improvement of infrastructure, allowing for improved mobility for vehicles and pedestrians.

This project is approximately 1.5 km long, with an estimated total cost of €10.7 million. The project will have a 24-month construction period, during which CONSULGAL will provide technical assistance.

The presentation also highlighted how CONSULGAL’s project responded to local challenges by preserving existing structures, particularly economic activities and housing, without compromising applicable design regulations or the ultimate objectives of the project.
