Road transport is carried out via the internal port road which exists on the Northern bank of the Tagus, various freeways divert traffic from the urban traffic: the Eixo Norte-Sul, CRIL, CREL, Segunda Circular, IP7 and IC32. The Port of Lisbon is equally connected to the Main Itinerary roads - IP1 (Access to the North and South of the Country), A1 (access to the North), A2 (access to the South of the Country), A5 (Cascais corridor) and the A8 (access to the West area) – which then articulate with the international connections via the A3, IP4 and IP5 (access to the North) the A6 (direct access Madrid) and the IC1 (access to the South).

On the South bank, goods flow through various freeways which bring the main terminals closer to the main national highways: the A1 to flow the cargo towards the North, the A2 which serves the South of the country and also the A6 which reaches the Spanish border.
