If you use buses in Penha, six routes or route variants will have changed itineraries starting on Monday, September 21, 2026. According to SPTrans, the change is due to the closure of Avenida Amador Bueno da Veiga at the intersection with Avenida Jaime Torres for roadworks. The published schedule runs through November 3, 2026, although the notice also states that the diversion remains tied to the completion of the works.
In practice, buses will be redirected through nearby streets, especially Rua Pinheiro de Ulhoa Cintra and Rua Ilha de Castilhos. Below are the affected routes, directions and diversion streets.

Where the closure is and how long it will last
The closure is at the intersection of Av. Amador Bueno da Veiga and Av. Jaime Torres. SPTrans says the diversion starts on September 21, 2026 and is scheduled through November 3, 2026, until the works are completed. This means November 3 is the published reference date, while the actual reopening depends on completion of the work.
The official notice does not provide an estimated delay or additional travel time. It is therefore not possible to state how many extra minutes each route may take.
How outbound and return trips change
Routes 273J-10, 2755-10, N301-11 and 2722-10 share the same core diversion. Outbound buses leave Av. Jaime Torres for Rua Pinheiro de Ulhoa Cintra and Rua Ilha de Castilhos before returning to Av. Amador Bueno da Veiga. On the return trip, they use the same two streets in reverse to reconnect with Av. Jaime Torres.
Route 3459-21 changes in a single direction and follows the outbound portion of the same diversion. Route 2722-31 also uses Rua Pinheiro de Ulhoa Cintra and Rua Ilha de Castilhos, but adds Rua Olívia de Oliveira before continuing and completing the itinerary published by SPTrans.
What to check before leaving
- Check the route code, because 2722-10 and 2722-31 serve the same terminal pair but have different diversions.
- Expect a different path near the closed intersection, especially if your usual stop is on Av. Amador Bueno da Veiga or Av. Jaime Torres.
- Because the end date depends on the roadworks, check the official notice again close to your trip, particularly in late October and early November.
The service reference is the official SPTrans notice on the Penha diversion, which lists the published validity period and itineraries for the six routes/variants.
