The city government stated that “renovation work will begin on Avenida D. João VI, at the intersection with Dâmaso da Encarnação and 18 de Junho streets”, in a project that foresees the construction of “a roundabout in the area known as Quatro Estradas”, with the work budgeted at 600,000 euros.

The works are expected to last four months, estimated the Olhão City Council in a statement, highlighting that the new roundabout will “make traffic flow more fluid on all roads in that area” and improve pedestrian safety.

“This is a long-awaited intervention and, once completed, and together with the new Variante and the end of tolls on Via do Infante, it will be the starting point for a more in-depth requalification, which will return the avenue to the people of Olhão”, considered the Mayor of Olhão, António Miguel Pina, quoted in the statement.
