regiaosul.pt reports tonight that the Lagos, Algarve, Portugal Municipal Council has today opened a call for tenders for the reconstruction of the D. Maria II Bridge which links the town of Lagos with the Meia Praia, Albadeira and Marina areas of the town on the other side of the river.
The Bridge was closed two years ago at short notice following an inspection that revealed serious problems with the integrity of the structure.

The closure of the bridge brought substantial disruption to local traffic and added 3 kms to the commute between the areas concerned.
