On this Wednesday afternoon, the Oeiras council informed Luza that it expected to complete the Alges station cleanup by the end of the day.

The vice-president of the municipality, Francisco Gonçalves, said that the work to remove water from the tunnel at the Alges railway station is almost complete and that the opening is dependent on the intervention of IP and CP.

In the last report on traffic restrictions on the road network, made at 18:00, IP noted the opening of traffic on the national road (EN) 8 between Odivelas and Loures, as well as EN250 in the Frielas area. the last two roads reopened to traffic after traffic on the EN248 was restored in the afternoon at Arruda dos Viños, between kilometers 15 and 17.

In this area, the EN114 in Corus continues to be affected, with a closure to Estrada de Meillas and a connection between EN114 and EN251 in Azervadinha. The EN119 road is closed between kilometers 43 and 55, while the EN118 road intersects in both directions between Tramagal and Santa Margarida. The EN365 motorway runs between Vale Figueira and Pombaline.

In the Portalegre area there are also new entrances to the EN243 between Monforte and Barbacena and to the EN246-1 in Alameda dos Fresos, which connects Marvão with Castelo de Vide.

The area still has restrictions on Main Route (IP) 2 at Monfort as well as on EN3 at Montargil Dam; on EN243, in Fronteira and on the Fronteira bridge; to EN244, to Avis; on EN246, in Arronches and on EN373, closed towards Campo Mayor Elvas, and still in Elvas, on EN246.

Intense and relentless rain on Tuesday caused more than 3,000 incidents, including floods, tree falls and cut roads, affecting mainly the areas of Lisbon, Setubal, Portalegre and Santarem.

A total of 83 people were displaced, according to the National Emergency Management and Civil Protection Administration (ANEPC), and bad weather also led to the closure and conditioning of roads and railroad tracks, which have been restored.

In the Lisbon area, bad weather led to traffic restrictions at the entrance to the city, and in most cases this situation has been corrected. According to the city council, in Campo Maiore, in the Portalegre district, the lower part of the village was flooded, several houses were flooded with water up to the roofs.
