The concessionaire announced on 10 November that the maximum speed limit on the 25 de Abril and Vasco da Gama bridges has been reduced to 60km/h due to weather conditions. The speed restriction applies to both crossings, and motorcycles and other vehicles vulnerable to strong winds are also advised not to use them.

A specific warning has been issued to drivers of motorcycles and vehicles with canvas roofs, with travel across either bridge over the Tagus strongly discouraged.

Safety measures

Given the weather conditions, the company urges drivers to take extra precautions when crossing the bridges and to comply with imposed speed limits and existing traffic signs.

Before travelling across either bridge, Lusoponte recommends checking official channels to verify traffic conditions.
