Twenty years ago, the operation of the Elevador da Glória was interrupted due to earth subsidence that occurred during works to requalify the Rossio railway tunnel. The tunnel, in its initial section, is located two meters below the pavement.
Carris suspects that the works carried out in the tunnel may be related to the accident. Journalist Carlos Enes explains what procedures will be carried out to confirm or rule out the hypothesis that the tunnel contributed to the accident.
The situation raises questions about the safety of the infrastructure in the Rossio area and the possible relationship between the tunnel requalification works and the problems found in the Elevador da Glória.
