Road traffic in the south/north direction of the VL8 at the Arrábida junction in Vila Nova de Gaia will resume on Saturday, 31 October, following construction work for the Metro do Porto's Rubi Line. The reopening includes a new roundabout connecting to the Arrábida Shopping centre and restores direct access from the VL8 to the VCI (IC23) toward Porto, with the opposite direction (north/south) expected to reopen in November.
Traffic on the EN16 will be restricted to alternating lanes between kilometers 13 and 15 due to paving works. The restrictions will be in effect from Monday, October 12, between 08:00 and 18:00, and are expected to last for 15 days.
