Raminho Road exceptionally reopened to traffic, with restrictions, from February 14 to 17 - Communication

Secretaria Regional do Turismo, Mobilidade e Infraestruturas

The Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Mobility and Infrastructures informs that, exceptionally, the Raminho Regional Road on Terceira Island will be reopened to traffic from February 14 to 17, due to the Carnival festivities and the importance of various cultural events typically held during this period. 

Road traffic will be subject to a speed limit of 20 km/hour, solely to ensure the safety of all motorists, as work on the road surface has not yet been completed. 

Following an inspection by technicians from the Regional Directorate for Public Works, the opportunity for this exceptional opening was identified, as the slope has been stabilised and safety conditions have been met to ensure safe traffic flow during the festive period. 

The work along the road between the parishes of Serreta and Raminho, municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, represents an investment of over €2.3 million (including VAT) and is expected to be completed in March. Covering about 500 metres, it aims to definitively address slope instability with a new drainage system, increasing road safety.
