Leixões Mobile Bridge will be the target of preventive maintenance work

APDL ensures pedestrian transport

The Administration of the Ports of Douro, Leixões and Viana do Castelo (APDL)

informs that the Leixões Mobile Bridge will close at 2:00 pm on the day 20 June 2022, in order to carry out maintenance work on a cylinder, for an estimated period of 2 weeks.

The tipping infrastructure, dating from 2007, needs maintenance periodical taking into account its characteristics and recurrent use. In this sense, and as a mitigating measure, APDL will ensure, free of charge, the transport of passersby between Matosinhos and Leça da Palmeira, being the car traffic directed towards the A28 viaduct.

Transport between the banks will be provided by buses chartered by the APDL for this purpose, which include the transport of bicycles and equipment similar. Buses will run 24 hours, every 10 minutes during the day (7:00 am to 10:00 pm) and every 20 minutes at night (from 22:00 to 7:00).

The stops are located, in Matosinhos, at the eastern access to the Mobile Bridge (next to the Resende stop) and, in Leça da Palmeira, under the bridge (next to to the STCP stop).
