Miguel Albuquerque, the president of Madeira's regional government, said Wednesday that Canhas will get access to the Via Rápida expressway. He tied the project to an upcoming renegotiation of the region's public-private road partnerships.
Albuquerque gave no date for the work. He said only that the renegotiation process is starting.
Pledge Comes At Ponta Do Sol Housing Handover
Albuquerque made the announcement on the sidelines of a ceremony in Ponta do Sol. He pointed to Canhas's recent expansion, saying the parish "has registered significant growth in housing and business."
He called the planned connection fundamental "to improving traffic flow and residents' quality of life."
Thirty Low-Cost Homes Delivered At Mero VIII
The Ponta do Sol event itself was the handover of 30 controlled-cost homes at the Mero VIII building. The source gives no further detail on the homes, such as their price or who received them.
Renegotiation To Start Soon, No Timeline Given
Albuquerque linked the Canhas connection directly to the renegotiation of Madeira's public-private partnerships for roads.
We have it, and in that renegotiation we will provide access here to the Via Rápida for the parish of Canhas.
Miguel Albuquerque, President of Madeira's Regional Government
Asked when the connection would be built, Albuquerque said only that the renegotiation was beginning. He did not give a completion date or say how the new access would be built.
