One year after the Glória tragedy, what is the future of the city's elevators?

One year after the derailment of the Glória Elevator that killed 16 people in Lisbon, Carris presented its vision for the future of the equipment: a new modern, accessible elevator with advanced safety technology, expected to be operational by 2029, with an international public tender scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The Calçada da Glória will be requalified and will include a memorial to the victims at Largo da Oliveirinha, currently under construction. The remaining historic elevators in the city — Lavra, Bica and Santa Justa — remain closed, with no set date for reopening, while technical assessments are being carried out by the Independent Technical Commission. The cost of the new Elevator has not yet been estimated, but the funding will be defined in coordination with the Lisbon City Council.
