The Council of Government has approved a resolution authorizing an expenditure of 6.72 million euros for a slope stabilization and protection project on Via Expresso 2, between the Ladeira da Vinha and João Delgado tunnels.
The Regional Government of Madeira has authorized a slope stabilization project on Via Expresso 2 (VE 2), in the municipality of Porto Moniz, with a base value of 6.72 million euros, plus VAT. The intervention aims to improve road safety conditions on a section considered to be at risk.
The Regional Government Council Resolution No. 848/2026 authorizes the expenditure for the project designated as «STABILIZATION OF THE SLOPE AND PROTECTION OF VE 2 BETWEEN THE LADEIRA DA VINHA AND JOÃO DELGADO TUNNELS - SECTION BETWEEN KM 3+600 AND 3+800. PROJECT». The site is located in the parish of Seixal and is characterized by the presence of a steep cliff next to the road, which represents a risk of landslides and rockfalls onto the highway.
The contracting procedure will be carried out through a public tender, with an announcement to be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The authority to conduct the process has been delegated to the Regional Secretary for Equipment and Infrastructure, Pedro Fagundes de Freitas Rodrigues.
The Region has approved the multi-year allocation of costs for the design and construction of the Machico Pavilion. The total amount is €4,175,000, plus VAT, with the largest share scheduled for 2029.
The Regional Government has authorised additional construction supervision and monitoring services for Madeira Central Hospital, at an extra cost of up to €29,620. The service period increases from 105 to 107 months, and the contract’s maximum term rises from 228 to 230 months.
Regional funding for the rehabilitation of the Praia Formosa Seafront remains capped at €4,828,876.35, but the costs have been rescheduled through 2029. The change follows the lack of valid bids for the second phase of the works and a revision of the project.
