Mobility | Discover the best of Leça da Palmeira

The green corridor

Extending along almost 45 kilometres, the Leça River begins in Santo Tirso, passes through Valongo and Maia, flowing to Matosinhos. And soon there will be a new area to discover, with the construction of a green corridor that is already under way.

Representing an investment of 19.7 million euros, this project includes 13 hectares of new green spaces, 820 new trees, four new bridges, seven kilometres of cycling and pedestrian paths, and will benefit 500 thousand residents.

Mobility is one of this project’s key concepts. Therefore, the entire corridor will be connected to the public transport network and enable the population to travel by means of bicycles, for example.

Circulation between the riverbanks will also be guaranteed with the construction of four new bridges in metallic structures, equipping this route with a total of nine bridges.
