€46 million plan revives Albufeira’s long-awaited flood tunnel
The Environment and Energy Minister announced that the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) will lead the construction of a 1.5-kilometre drainage tunnel in Albufeira, budgeted at €33 million. This project, which remains subject to an environmental impact assessment, is part of a broader €46 million investment package for the area that also includes €16 million for coastal protection works.
Why it mattersIf you live in or own a business in downtown Albufeira, this project aims to mitigate the risk of severe flooding, though construction remains in the planning and environmental assessment phase with no start date yet confirmed.
