Municipalities in Portugal announce infrastructure and environmental projects

The Redondo Municipality has committed 624,000 euros to rehabilitate the Ribeira do Freixo in Santa Susana. The project covers approximately 650 meters and aims to mitigate flood risks by cleaning, clearing, and re-profiling the watercourse bed. The intervention will utilize natural engineering techniques to stabilize banks and control erosion, while also creating pedestrian paths and leisure spaces to promote biodiversity.

In Arganil, the Parque do Prado in Côja is undergoing a 167,000 euro requalification. The works focus on reorganizing parking with 31 new car spaces and six motorcycle spaces to eliminate informal parking. The project also includes improving road access, creating green corridors along the Ribeira da Mata, planting trees, and enhancing the landscape around an old mill to better integrate the site with the urban environment.
