Portugal is undertaking various infrastructure investments focused on decarbonization, rail modernization, and urban transit. Initial efforts include allocating 12.2 million euros to the Port of Leixões for decarbonization through onshore power supply and photovoltaic energy production. Simultaneously, 66 million euros is being directed toward modernizing the Linha do Norte railway to implement European safety and signaling standards.

Further developments involve the Lisbon Metro, where officials are evaluating a potential loop configuration for the circular line. This expansion could cost an additional 18 million euros and extend the operational timeline by 18 months. Additionally, rail services are resuming on the Oeste line between Torres Vedras and Caldas da Rainha following repairs necessitated by Storm Kristin, though some sections remain under bus replacement services.
