IP3 to have several sections closed between Coimbra and Viseu next week

Infraestruturas de Portugal announced traffic closures on the IP3 between Monday (2026-09-07) and Thursday morning (2026-09-10) for bridge repairs and road duplication works. On Monday, the Coimbra-Viseu direction will be closed between Mortágua and Santa Comba Dão (08:00 to 18:00). Night closures follow on Tuesday and Wednesday (21:00 to 05:00) between Vila Pouca and Tondela Sul, and Canas de Santa Maria and São Miguel de Outeiro, with traffic detoured via the old EN2.
