The Via Expresso connecting Ribeira Brava to Ponta do Sol, specifically the section between the Tabua and Ponta do Sol roundabouts, was heavily congested on the afternoon of June 26, 2026.
Vehicles were moving very slowly, at times coming to a complete standstill. The reason for the congestion has not been identified.
This slow traffic situation, which was also reported the previous evening, may have been exacerbated by holiday traffic in the island's western area.
