The work was suspended on a proposal from the municipality, to allow the elevator that connects the beach to Sítio to operate, between the 15th of July and the 18th of September.

In a statement, the chamber (PS) reported that the lift will close on Monday, and work will resume on stabilising the cliff overlooking the cable transport tunnel, which should continue until December 21st.

During the suspension of lift activity, transport will be provided by bus.

The work, under the responsibility of APA, began in January, with an estimated duration of eight months, with the municipality requiring that the lift stop to occur “for one or two months and always outside of high season”.
