High-speed Lisbon to Porto train will be “transformative”
- 19 May, 22
The Minister of Infrastructure has said that the high-speed rail line will be “transformative” for cities such as Leiria, Coimbra, Aveiro and Braga, as well as for a number of inland cities.
“The high-speed line is a structuring project for the country, which will radically change the way the two metropolitan areas [Lisbon and Porto] relate to each other”, highlighted the minister.
The high-speed train will allow, the minister recalled, passengers to go from Braga to Lisbon in about 47 minutes and from Lisbon to Porto in an hour and 15 minutes.
The minister said he expects the environmental impact assessment to be completed in 2023, so that the public tender can be launched in early 2023, work will begin in 2024 and be completed in 2028.
