The project, which is in the public consultation phase of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) until 7 December and which aims to respond to the increase in traffic, starts at the Albergaria node and finish before that of Estarreja, which is about ten kilometers.
According to the non-technical summary of the AIA, the work is expected to last about 18 months and come into effect in all three directions in 2020.
This sub-section of the A1 came into service in August 1983, after only having undergone some improvement work, namely the strengthening of the roadway.
"With the ongoing expansion and improvement project, we intend to improve the current level of service by creating a third road route, as there are already levels above 35,000 average daily traffic vehicles that require the existence of this third way, "reads the document.
The project involves the replacement of the existing eight overpasses with new ones, to be built adjacent to or at the current location.
Drainage and paving should also be improved given the introduction introduced.
In the Albergaria node, its extension is intended for three routes, using the branches of the nodes closest to the platform of the complete track and executing the new branches adjacent to the current nodes and in the zone that affects the node itself. -even.
The Estarreja node will not be affected because it already works with three roads per direction.
Much of the area to be occupied is in the area already expropriated and it will be only marginally necessary to proceed with the expropriation of new areas, the total area of which is 4.6 hectares.
