The intervention in this artery, which goes from the roundabout next to the descent to Praia da Oura to the roundabout on Estrada de Santa Eulália, began «with the intervention on the sidewalks, next to the roundabout of the Martinique pastry shop, with a view to preparing them to receive the necessary infrastructure in the context of accessibility and public lighting», according to the municipality of Albufeirense.

For José Carlos Rolo, mayor of Albufeira, this is «a fundamental intervention to improve the fluidity and road safety, in a tourist area with a great movement of people and vehicles».
The Council of Albufeira also warned of the «inevitable inconveniences» caused during the work.
«To avoid major constraints there will be no traffic cuts, and the municipality has opted for the alternating traffic situation, a solution compatible with the size and location of the work», concluded the municipality.
