The cut of part of the Estrada da Penha, in Faro, "for 30 months" has been a situation "of intolerable negligence and negligence for a Chamber that is at a standstill", accused this week the Civic Alliance "Save Faro». A restriction that is linked to the construction works of the North Bypass to the capital of the Algarve, which are at a standstill and do not yet have a defined date to start again. "Either the concessionaire for the requalification of the EN125 solves it, or the City Council does the work and presents you with the bill", defended the movement.
According to the alliance that will support the candidacy of the former mayor of Faro José Vitorino to the position he already occupied before, there have been "strong protests from the population". The movement speaks of "disrespect for the residents in the area, cut off access to the new Cemetery in the North/South direction and alienation from the risk of higher accidents and higher costs and delays for those who regularly used a road with heavy traffic", throwing the responsibility upwards. of the municipality.
«The Alliance Saves Faro subscribes to the opinion and protests of the populations, because in addition to being intolerable the delay in the end of the works on the Variant, the situation is even more serious because on this road there is little complex technical solution so that traffic can be resumed. And this is essential, because it currently forces large detours and aggravation of congestion on other lanes and roundabouts," reads a statement from the Alliance sent to newsrooms.
This road serves as an alternative to the EN2 for those who want to make the way between Penha and Hospital de Faro and the location of Conceição de Faro. «Also the access road from Faro to the Areal Gordo Vocational Training Center and Bela Curral is cut off, forcing a long turn around the Salgados roundabout, on the road Faro/Olhão”, also due to the leftovers of the Variant, recalled the alliance.
«It's a case of saying that a misfortune never comes alone and it's all damage to the population: tolls, the Variant a Faro it is never ready and the municipality still had two important roads cut off, which cannot be accepted”, he summed up.
