The Board of Lisbon's proposal to change the board of the future bridge, linking Chelas to Barreiro, "defines the activity of the Port of Lisbon", held today a specialist in engineering that maintains the crossing via tunnel .
For Mario Lopes, Professor of the Higher Technical Institute (STI), the proposal of the Board, which is the lowering of the board of the future bridge and replacement of viaducts by road and rail tunnels "is good for the city but bad for the Port of Lisbon" .
"I understand the point of view of City Hall, which is considering the city of Lisbon. It's not only the interests of the city who are concerned because the port is of extreme importance to the economy of the country," said civil engineer the agency Lusa, on the sidelines of a debate on the topic in the Geography Society of Lisbon.
According Mario Lopes, the option presented by the municipality of 4.5 meters down to 47, then referred to the board of the bridge, will limit the size of boats moving between Santa Apolonia and window of the Bishop.
"We could not, with the bridge at that site, reconciling all the issues that are important: the maintenance of the port and the interests of the city. This bridge, on this site, you can not respond to all these questions because there are very large or inconvenience to the city Lisbon or the port or for both, "contended Mario Lopes.
The civil engineer said that there should be an alternative to this crossing through the construction of a tunnel submerged Bl-Montijo-Barreiro.
"This crossing would be the best because it will save 14 kilometers in access to future airport at Alcochete. In this case, the damage to the Barreiro would be much lower than the benefit that is gained from the airport, which is the main entry into our country," said .
The Third Crossing the Tagus, which will have two tracks for high speed, two routes for the conventional network and two tracks with three lanes each for the road, represents an investment of 1.7 billion euros.
The public consultation of the Third Crossing the Tagus ends on December 9 and the Commission for Environmental Impact Assessment is required to rule until Feb. 23.
The tender, scheduled for January 2009, can only be launched after the completion of the environmental impact assessment
