Almost 50 million euros blocked an alternative to the future Lisbon Metro circular line. The value would represent the additional cost of a technical solution that would allow sharing the infrastructure with the future Yellow line.
The Government definitively ruled out the possibility of transforming the future Lisbon Metro circular line into a "loop" solution. This alternative would have allowed both lines to share the same infrastructure.
The choice for the circular line as a dedicated infrastructure was thus confirmed, without the possibility of sharing with the Yellow line. The additional cost of almost 50 million euros was the determining factor for ruling out this alternative.
