IP3 closed on Monday and Tuesday nights due to roadworks between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu

The IP3 will be closed in both directions between 21:00 and 05:00 on the nights of Monday 19 October and Tuesday 20 October. Traffic will be diverted to the EN2, with diversions occurring between the Treixedo and Tondela Sul junctions on Monday night, and between Canas de Santa Maria and São Miguel de Outeiro on Tuesday night.

Why it matters

If you are planning to drive along the IP3 between Santa Comba Dão and Viseu on the nights of 19 or 20 October, you will need to use the EN2 as a detour, which will add travel time to your journey.
