The Regional Road ER213, connecting Faial and Cortado on Madeira Island, has been reopened to vehicular traffic. The reopening was confirmed by the Regional Secretariat for Equipment and Infrastructure, marking an end to the temporary closure that had affected the area.

The closure, which impacted the stretch between the ER101 roundabout and the Cortado site, was lifted late in the afternoon, as announced by the Regional Directorate of Roads (DRE). The road is now fully operational, alleviating traffic congestion and improving accessibility for both locals and visitors.

The temporary closure of the road had been a concern for residents and tourists alike, as it is a significant route for accessing various parts of the island. The prompt action by the authorities to reopen the road underscores the importance of maintaining infrastructure to support the island's tourism-driven economy.

Madeira's scenic roads are not only crucial for daily commutes but also enhance the travel experience for tourists who visit the island for its natural beauty and cultural attractions.
