Future Tram 9: work takes a decisive step forward this summer

The removal of the current railway track (rail, catenaries, embankment, etc.), then its reinstallation on the new bridge thus created, requires atotal interruption of trafficon the weekend of August 12, for 72 hours.

This work concerns the access of the future Tram 9 tram to its maintenance and storage site, on the Vœux site in Orly. The final sliding phase (scheduled for 15 August) will consist of slowly sliding the two structures to their final location under the tracks of line C, in order to form a single structure.

Train traffic will be interrupted from August 12 at 0:05 a.m. until August 15 at 5:00 a.m., between Paris-Austerlitz and Massy-Palaiseau. Bus replacement services will be set up to provide the same service.
