New signs telling you how far places are, exactly the same as the old signs too, but some of them now hidden by foliage. Genius.

I think the EN 125 around Vilamoura should be renamed - The magic Roundabout.
Also, last few days have seen dozens of new roadsigns around Vilamoura/Almancil stretch but each turned 90 degrees so not visible. Thought they were all new signs for said roundabouts etc but turns out that they are at the exit to about 90% of properties and businesses telling them to - Stop and turn right. Must have cost a fortune! and the kadoc new name....Lick and there is also a tiny 'u' !!!!!

Breaking news from the N125 car park. Bridge at Maritenda is now open, but will undoubtedly be closed again briefly for resurfacing very soon as it's very rough at the moment. The railway bridge outside Albufeira looks like it too will be open in the next few days (hours even) and is in a similar state to that at Maritenda. The roundabout at the Kadoc (which is now called "Lick", by the way...) turn onto the M526 is open, as is the roundabout that has replaced the lights at the Ferreiras/Albufeira crossroads. It appears the road will be fully open in time for racing to commence as the northern hoards descend next month...

Is it worth taking the "old" existing turn off sign posted for Albufeira through Troto. Or take the "new" slip road.

yes, and will only get worse as they make the roundabout. best to turn towards vilamoura off en 125 and go over 2 (?) roundabouts then turn right at 3rd (?) and come out at bp opp kadoc. might not be quicker depending on the q but at least you keep moving

Turn left just before the hill leading up to the Maritenda bridge - the aforementioned Kadok turn. Then just keep going straight on until you come to the bullring roundabout, Bob.

They were diverting traffic around the Maritendo bridge a few weeks ago when I went along there at night.

I remember reading last year when the original plan for the railway bridge was unfurled, that it might be necessary to close that stretch of road completely at night when no trains are running.

Yup, more or less the simplest thing. Although you could use the 526 and either turn left at Kadoc and head north via Boliqueme to jump on the motorway, thereby saving a whole €1.10 in tolls, or stay on the 526 and join the 125 just after the Maritendo bridge, then there will only be the Vale Judeu lights to contend with...
