The new bridge over the Ribeira do Alcôrrego, on Municipal Road 508 (EM 508), connecting the municipalities of Sousel and Avis, will be opened to road traffic starting tomorrow, Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

With the opening of this new section, traffic will now use the new structure, and the old crossing will no longer be used. The work was the result of a collaboration between the Municipalities of Sousel and Avis.
The Municipality of Sousel calls on all drivers to proceed at a moderate speed and respect the existing signage at the location, in order to ensure the safety of all road users.
The Sousel council thanks all citizens and drivers for their understanding and cooperation.
