Briefings
Lisboa's municipal council approved a 2.82 million euro payment to the public transport company Metropolitano for the closure of the Santa Apolonia metro station, which is part of a drainage tunnel project. The closure is necessary to complete the tunnel between Monsanto and the Tejo River, with an estimated 415-day construction period. The agreement was passed by the executive but awaits final validation by the municipal assembly, with potential for value increases if additional impacts are identified.
