EN125 Roadworks Update...

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.

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.

Thanks for the heads up Pete, must have just gone in on Monday?

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.

still faffing around with another roundabout, 1.5kms west of 4 estradas but no traffic lights and maritenda still delayed as is turn off to kadoc

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

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...
