Célia Pessegueiro, Mayor of Ponta do Sol, was, from the first hour, on the ground following the work of the firefighters.
This is following the fire that broke out last night on the slope of Lugar de Baixo, in Ponta do Sol, which has since been extinguished.
Thus, the Via Expresso linking Lugar do Baixo and Ponta do Sol, which closed due to the fire, “will be reopened as soon as traffic safety conditions are ensured”, informs the Municipality in a note sent to the newsrooms.
Hopefully it will be open later this afternoon, the diversion is a nightmare causing many problems, especially with the larger lorries trying to get through.
If anyone sees it reopen please let me know.
