Lisbon has initiated a phased repaving project on Avenida da Liberdade. The work is scheduled to take place over approximately two weeks, with construction occurring at night between 21:00 and 05:00 to minimize disruption.

The first phase focuses on the stretch between Praça dos Restauradores and Rua Barata Salgueiro. During this period, traffic will be diverted to side lanes; while light vehicles will use these routes, bus services are expected to remain unchanged. This project is part of a larger city-wide maintenance effort involving an investment of approximately 8 million euros this year to address long-standing infrastructure issues.
