As Rehabilitation works on the Olhão Riverfront start next October. The Court of Auditors has already given the necessary approval to start the intervention and the Polis Society has awarded the works, which, however, will only start after the summer.
The redevelopment of this noble area of the city, under the responsibility of the Polis Ria Formosa Society, could start as early as April.
However, according to the Municipality of Olhão, “because the works were still going on during the summer, the Municipality negotiated with the various parties involved so that the intervention should only start in October, after the high season, so as not to harm merchants in the area. , which receive thousands of tourists there by the end of September».
«This is a project that will make all the people of Olho proud and change the face of the city». That is how António Pina, Mayor of the City Council, classified, in 2017, at the time of his presentation, the profound rehabilitation intervention in the Riverside Front.
this real revolution in one of the noblest areas of the city, designed by the team of architect Amélia Santos, it includes the redevelopment of the Patrão Joaquim Lopes and Pescador Olhanense gardens, the Municipal Markets area and Avenida 5 de Outubro, giving the whole area more modern, multipurpose characteristics and, above all, friends of pedestrians.
Like the Sul Informação realized, the plan for the riverside area of Olhão calls for significant changes, especially in the organization and image of the three zones to be intervened, but it will preserve much of what already exists in these places, from the esplanades and parking spaces on the avenue, to the monuments, identity elements and trees of the gardens.
The common denominator of the intervention project is the evocation of the Ria, the sea and local traditions.
For the City Council, «Olhão will be endowed with a unique riverfront in the Algarve, modern but that preserves the tradition, values and soul of Olhão».
