PS questions IP about road closed since Storm Kristin

Local PS officials in Penacova are meeting with Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) this Friday, September 25, 2026, to demand a timeline for reopening the ER110 road, which has been closed since January due to damage from Storm Kristin. Commuters currently face significantly longer journeys through the mountains or via the IP3, increasing their transport costs.

Why it matters

If you live in or commute through Penacova and rely on the ER110, you remain subject to long-term diversions with no currently announced date for the road to reopen.
