Pedro Marques, the Minister for Panning and infrastructure, says the government has kept its part of the bargain and, as the August 1st reduction in tolls on some of the country’s roads is going to cost €15 million in lost revenue, the public can expect no more concessions.
The 15% reduction on a handful of formerly free roads, including the Algarve’s Via do Infante, may cause a loss of annual revenue but the minister did promising to re-evaluate the collection system and the impact of the price reduction when more time has passed.
