From a $10 Billion Artificial Island to Singapore's New Mega Port and High-Speed Rail Lines
Portugal's High-Speed Rail Expansion
Portugal has had a high-speed rail system since the 1990s, but the current speed limit of 220 km/h is set to be upgraded by 2030. The primary expansion is the construction of the Lisbon-Porto Line, which will reduce the 314 km journey between Portugal's two biggest cities from nearly four hours to just over one hour at 300 km/h. The project is expected to cost just under €5 billion, with the European Union providing €1 billion.
