Work has started on the construction of a new storm drain through the Cerro Grande area. Several roads are closed or partially closed. Traffic and buses diverted all over the place.

Particularly affected are Rua 1 Dezembro and Rua Samora Barros, both closed off at the roundabout end. Avenida do Ténis is partly closed in the same area. I will get some pictures and perhaps some more detail as soon as I can.

Here's the details of the current phase, expected to last until early December. The Avenida do Ténis closed southbound from just below the traffic lights and past the roundabout. The little road down from the Jardim direction is also blocked off. Map below shows. Rua Samora Barros and Rua 1 Dezembro not affected thus far. Giro buses 2,3 and 8 diverted.

Utterly useless diversion signing as always. If you are unfamiliar with the area you dont stand a chance. If you wish to get to the Old Cemetery area from the dual carriageway there is no signing whatsoever to tell you how to achieve this. Disgraceful.

There is nothing at the traffic lights to tell that there is no way down the Avenida do Ténis. The only sign is when you get to the blockage, which sends you back the way you came. It is not necessary to inform the public. It costs money to put up signs.

The bus company has put a sign on the stop outside the school in Avenida do Ténis announcing the closure and advising the alternative stop on the main road, but the other stop just before the roundabout has been taken out of service by the simple expedient of physically removing it.

Big diversion signs have now appeared at the various junctions.

The pipes have been laid and the trench is now being filled in before they move down to the next section by the school. A bit wet in there after all that rain!

This section looks now to be almost finished. Lots of pipes of various sizes and colours are being stashed ready for the next stage, down past the school.

Supreme irony is that works are being delayed because of the heavy rain that is flooding the worksite! Pictures taken Sunday afternoon, 9th March.

Yes December turned into March and still not finished. Our friend who has a business on Ave de Tenis has been told it will be another 2 months.

Sure looks like it. Meanwhile, also closed for resurfacing is the bottom end of Rua Coronel Águas, where it goes down the hill towards the marina.
