Carris, the company responsible for public transport in Lisbon, announced that the new Glória elevator should be completed in the first half of 2029. The company promises a fully new structure, which will completely replace the current one.
The president of Carris guarantees that the new elevator will be "safer" and that it will comply with all current safety regulations. This promise comes in the context of renovation works that affect the operation of the Glória elevator.
The Glória elevator is one of the most iconic monuments in Lisbon, connecting the city center to the Bairro Alto neighborhood. Its renovation represents a significant investment in the transport infrastructure of the Portuguese capital.
