New route out of Lisbon?

Time of past OR future Camino
Portuguese Central September 2022
I cycled as far as Ansiao in 2022, but I fell before Tomar and ended up in hospital. I am trying again from Lisbon in September 2023. I know there is a shared use path close to the river between Alhandra and Vila Franca da Xira which I did not know about in 2022. This "diversion takes you away from the dangerous N10 road. I have heard there is a new route including boardwalks being completed in 2023 somewhere out of Lisbon. Does anyone know where this new "diversion" is? I will be delighted if it is just before Alhandra! Many thanks

I believe it starts at Savacem to Alverca. Search on here, plenty of info about it.

Or Perigrina! Many thanks, I could see from the map in the thread exactly where it is planned to be. It actually won't make the route safer (from a road perspective), as the current loop that takes you from Savacem to Alverca is road free too. I will definitely take the new boardwalk route in September as it will have nice views of the Tagus. I am still trying to figure out if there is a way of avoiding the N10 just before Alhandra, I don't mind massive detours as I am on a bike. Time for a play on Google Earth/ Street view.

Did you use the Brierley book? I had a pleasant walk out of Lisbon and the tracks were easily cyclable. That was 7 years ago
 
I don’t think there is a simple way to avoid the road stretch beside Sobralinho. You can take the Estrada de Arruda (N10-6 and N248-3) to make a giant loop but I find walking that road not any better than the N10. It doesn’t have shoulders to speak of and it’s a bus route so it still has lots of traffic.

I would consider walking your bike on the left hand side of the road heading north for the ~1 km of N10. It’s not pleasant but I find that drivers are accustomed to people walking there. Just like any time I have to walk next to traffic, I just keep my attention on the vehicles at all times.
