Carris presented the project for the future Elevador da Glória, almost a year after a tragic accident occurred in that equipment. The Lisbon transport company revealed that it will be a completely new piece of equipment, which should only be operational in 2029.
The project was presented publicly, but Carris did not reveal many details about the technical specifications or the design of the new elevator. The company remained not very explicit about the concrete aspects of the new equipment.
The Elevador da Glória is one of the iconic means of transport in the city of Lisbon, functioning as a connection between the downtown area of the city and the high zone. The accident that occurred almost a year before the presentation of this project marked a turning point in the history of this historic elevator.
