There is an article in today's Correio da Manha reporting that yesterday in the Diario da Republica, (Portuguese Government Gazette) Estradas de Portugal, the agency responsible for national roads, published a call for initial tenders for the design and construction of certain aspects of the long awaited Aljezur by-pass (The access roads and fitting). It looks like the project is beginning to move.
