The blockage has been lifted now that the path has been perfectly restored.
The 222 steps from the statue to the Miradouro are worth it...

A key feature of the "Cristo Rei" depictions is that Jesus is not shown on the cross or crucified (although the outstretched arms suggest this from afar), but rather Christ is the King, the Victor over sin and death, the All overcome the suffering of the world. It is the outstretched arms of the lovingly drawing Christ, with which he embraces the country and above all the people living in it in blessing.

When you walk past the Christ statue, you can already see the path down and the end of the path. Unfortunately, the Christo Rein is currently a little covered up, as the base is probably being restored.
