The company Carris is developing a new project for the Glória Elevator in Lisbon. According to information released, the new elevator is expected to be completed by 2029. The plans for the facility include modern features aimed at enhancing the user experience.

The international competition for the construction of the new elevator will be launched in the first quarter of next year. The president of Carris, Rui Lopo, referred to the project in a presentation held recently.

Despite the announced timeline, Rui Lopo acknowledged that the initially set deadline could face delays, but no additional information was provided regarding potential reasons for such postponements.

Not many details about the design and functionalities of the new elevator have been revealed yet. The project is being eagerly anticipated by the local community.

In parallel, the edition also reported the passing of Ludgero Marques, former president of the Business Association of Portugal, who was a notable figure in the country's business sector, although there is no connection between these events.

Carris continues to be an important entity in urban mobility in Lisbon, and the new elevator is a vital part of its future operations to modernize public transport. The expectation is that this project will bring significant improvements to the city's infrastructure.
