The promenade at Praia Formosa will remain closed to pedestrians for about two more weeks. The Sociedades de Desenvolvimento said the shutdown follows damage from storm Charles.
Decision Follows First Site Inspection at Praia Formosa
In a statement, the Sociedades de Desenvolvimento said the decision to extend the closure came after an initial inspection on site. That first check found the need for a deeper review of the structure's safety and of any damage the bad weather may have caused.
Funchal Path Was Already Closed During Storm's Peak
The route had already been shut as a precaution during the period of worst weather instability. Even so, officials said conditions are still not in place to let people walk the path safely.
Praia Formosa Stays Shut Until Checks Finish
Reopening depends on finishing the technical assessments and on any repairs those checks show are needed. Pedestrian access stays banned across the area covered by the closure order. The Sociedades de Desenvolvimento asked the public to respect the signs and access restrictions.
