Connecting the northern area of Madeira

22 November 2017

It was last Friday, the 17th , that NRV | Norvia was at the opening of the road section that completes the connection between Boaventura and São Vicente, in Madeira. Miguel Albuquerque, president of Regional Government, participated and walked along three kilometers: there were also speeches and a band played.

The stretch has 7 km and four tunnels, two bridges and several hydraulic works. NRV | Norvia was responsible for the project of the third stage of the contract, which consisted on the construction of the open air sections and the setting of the equipments inside the tunnels.
The aim is to bring more speed and security in accessibility, between various locations, in the northern part of the island. The partial inauguration had already happened in August (with the section Boaventura - Ponta Delgada) and now it was the turn of the Ponta Delgada - São Vicente connection.
