According to the CCDR, two or three significant
investments will be injected into larger structural
changes, followed by a series of smaller works, though
these have not yet been specified.
Diminishing danger for drivers and improving access
to businesses along the stretch are two of the main
goals, as according to Joćo Faria, the EN125 has almost
become a "street".
Passing through 12 of the 16 regions, the works are
not expected to be quickly completed, as, says the CCDR,
speed can not be a predominant aspect of any
improvement works'.
Even so, the project for improving the EN125 still
depends on the input and decisions of various ministers,
though, says Faria, the Association of Algarve
Municipalities is "responding well" to the CCDR's
proposed project.
It is estimated that the overall investment will top
553 million Euros.
