Portuguese term

circular vertical

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
European Portuguese, from a text involving airport design, layout and construction:

"Os espaços dos dois pisos são conectados através da circular vertical existente do terminal."

Sorry, no more context or references. It's some sort of circular connection between two floors in the airport terminal, but I'm unclear on what the exact equivalent would be in English.

Thanks in advance for your help.

vertical circular ramp

circular; [Portugal] Via que circunda uma zona urbana ou liga zonas periféricas, sem passar pelo centro. (Equivalentes no português do Brasil: anel rodoviário, rodoanel.) = CIRCUNVALAÇÃO
"circular", in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa [em linha], 2008-2021, https://dicionario.priberam.org/circular [consultado em 10-09-2021].

"Circular", as defined above, is a bypass road that you normally find in big cities to make car traffic more rapid and efficent.

In this particular context, I'm thinking "circular" is probably a ramp connecting the different levels of the airport. This YouTube video shows someone driving on a circular car ramp at the Houston Hobby Airport parking garage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKxbhrp5DD0

My guess is that the structure is something like this, only bigger: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/rampa-da-saída-da-garagem-de...
