Project Details
The construction activities took place between August 3 and 18, focusing on improvements at Campo Grande Station. This marks a significant step in the ongoing expansion and modernization projects aimed at providing a more efficient and rapid service, which includes increasing train frequency and reducing waiting times.
This work is part of the "Circular Line" project, which extends the Yellow and Green Lines (Rato/Cais do Sodré) and is a key investment for enhancing mobility in the Lisbon metropolitan area.
The Lisbon Metro planned these works for August, anticipating a typical decrease in demand during this time of year, and is implementing measures to minimize impacts on customers.
The Metro expresses gratitude for customer understanding, emphasizing that the ongoing expansion and modernization plan is crucial for improving public transportation and achieving national decarbonization goals by 2050.
