A19 motorway (Portugal)

A19, also known as Batalha bypass, is a motorway in Portugal connecting São Jorge (junction between IC9, N1 and N8) to the same N1 in South Leiria and extending further to the junction with N109 in North Leiria. The motorway is 16.4 km long and was built in two phases. The section between South Leiria and North Leiria was completed in 2010 and resulted from the enlargement of the existing IC2/N1 single carriageway expressway. On the other hand, the section between São Jorge and South Leiria (the actual Batalha bypass) was a newly built section and was completed in 2011. A19 is partly a toll road: the section from South Leiria to North Leiria (the Leiria bypass) is toll-free, as it was built over an existing road, while the section between São Jorge and South Leiria has tolls. Legally, A19 is an integral part of the complementary route IC 2.

The construction of this motorway was not included in the 2000 National Road Plan: in this region, such document supported the construction of IC2 as single carriageway expressway, not as a motorway.[1] As such, it was initially planned that the numbering A19 would be given to a short motorway that would link A8 (in South Leiria) to A1 (in East Leiria).[note 1][2][3] Nevertheless, since 1999 there was the intent to convert into a dual carriageway the section of IC2 expressway that bypasses the city of Leiria. However, south of Leiria, what eventually was built as A19, was originally planned to be a bypass included in IC2 expressway (as such, not a motorway) to the area of Batalha: in this area, N1 road not only crosses the interior of several built-up areas as it also passes in the vicinity of the Batalha Monastery, damaging the structure of the building.

In 2007, the Portuguese government decided to move forward with the enlargement of IC2 in Leiria and with the construction of Batalha bypass. However, the government decided to build Batalha bypass as toll motorway, instead as a (toll free) single carriageway expressway (as it was planned in the 2000 National Road Plan). It was decided to give the numbering A19 to the motorway that would thus born. Jointly with other roads and motorways, A19 was included in the 30-year Litoral Oeste sub-concession, which was given in 2009 to the private company Auto-estradas do Litoral Oeste, S.A..

Although nowadays, an average of 10,900 vehicles travel each day on A19, in practice this motorway consists of two very distinct sections in terms of traffic levels. In 2017, the toll-free section (between South Leiria and North Leiria) had an average daily traffic between 34,300[4][note 2] and 50,400 vehicles[note 3]. On the other hand, the tolled section (the Batalha bypass proper) has been registering traffic levels below expectation. In 2017, this section of A19 had an average daily traffic between 3,700[note 4] and 5,300[note 5]. In 2016 the sum of the toll revenues collected in A19 and in the last section of A8 were nearly €3 million, which allowed the Portuguese government to cover 2% of the expenditures it had on that year with Litoral Oeste sub-concession.[5]
