This faze the of the operation will involve the inside and outside parts of the statue, and the set up of scaffolds, which is scheduled to take place as of the 22^nd of February.

Visitations to the site will be kept open throughout the restoration period which is estimated to last for 120 days.

We further inform you that the starting date of the project to renovate the embark and disembark area of the railway station, which will certainly also cause some inconvenience, is not yet determined.
