Toll prices rise on the Vasco da Gama Bridge and 25 de Abril Bridge from 1 January 2026

Toll charges on the Vasco da Gama Bridge and the 25 de Abril Bridge have already risen, with the new prices in force since yesterday, 1 January 2026.

Why tolls increased from 1 January 2026

Toll tariffs have gone up by 2.38%, reflecting the year-on-year inflation rate excluding housing (2.28%), with an additional 0.1% added on top. That extra increase stems from an exceptional scheme introduced in 2022, when the Government chose to cap toll rises in response to the sharp inflation surge at the time.

In return, the concession operators were allowed to recoup, in subsequent years, part of the increase that was not applied in 2023-an adjustment that is now reflected in the 2026 tariff update.
