Silver Coast, safer and more accessible

S. Martinho do Porto will have a pedestrian bridge over the railroad.

In the near future, residents and tourists from the village of Sao Martinho do Porto can rely on a pedestrian crossing that will connect the train station to the beach sidewalk.

The installation of this equipment is the result of an agreement between the City Hall of Alcobaca, REFER and a civil construction company responsible for a resort that is already being built in the village and that is exclusively meant as second homes for English families. The contractor is responsible for building such equipment, which could be used by all, on the other hand the City Hall of Alcobaca has promised the construction company land for sidewalks and public equipment.

The new pedestrian bridge will be equipped with two lifts to facilitate access to those with reduced mobility and is justified mainly by increased security of all who have to cross the rails for access to the beach. The details of the agreement and the investment that this implies, should be signed at a meeting with a date yet to be defined.

Silver Coast of Portugal, constantly on the move! Improving every second... every day.
