Portugal is improving road safety in Coimbra district

The Municipality of Pampilhosa da Serra has awarded a contract for slope stabilisation work along the road between Janeiro de Baixo and Admoço, aiming to reopen a link that has been closed due to rockfalls since 2022. The 978,000-euro project is funded by the national Environmental Fund and has a 15-month completion timeline.

Why it matters

If you live in or travel through the interior of the Coimbra district, this long-awaited project aims to restore a key intermunicipal road connection that has been closed since 2022.
