Calçada de Carriche now has a new cycle-pedestrian bridge that brings together the two banks, separated by seven lanes for cars and three for public transport and parking. This new bridge will, in the future, enable the connection by foot or bicycle between the Vale da Ameixoeira Urban Park and Quinta de Santa Clara, on the east side, and Quinta dos Alcoutins and the future Aterro do Vale do Forno and Encosta do Olival Urban Parks, on the west side, whose construction was scheduled for 2020.
In the future, the cycle path installed here - which currently has no connection - will be extended to the border between Lisbon and the municipality of Odivelas, and to Ameixoeira and Lumiar, where a cycle path currently ends unexpectedly.
