The launch of this tender marks an important milestone in the development of the high-speed rail network in Portugal, demonstrating the government's commitment to modernizing and expanding the country's transportation infrastructure.
Infraestruturas de Portugal has announced that the international tender for the first portion of the high-speed rail line between Lisbon and Porto is now open.

The second phase will connect Soure and Carregado, while the third will build the connection between Carregado and Lisbon.
