Extension of Tram 3: a public inquiry to be informed and express oneself

The pursuit of a structuring project for Paris and the inner suburbs

Tram 3 currently connects the Pont du Garigliano to the Porte de la Chapelle in two sections serving 7 districts and many municipalities in the inner suburbs. By running along the Boulevards des Maréchaux, this structuring line allows inter-suburban travellers to avoid crossing Paris. Used every day by no more than 300,000 passengers, it is one of the busiest tram lines in the Ile-de-France network! From 24 November 2018, a first extension of 4.3km and 8 stations will be put into service between Porte de la Chapelle and Porte d'Asnières.

The Tram 3 route around the capital does not stop there and a new extension to Porte Dauphine is already underway. On the programme, 7 new stations for 3.2km of route that will serve both residential areas and business districts, offering a new frequent, regular and accessible mobility solution for the inhabitants and employees of the sector.

Porte Maillot, a future major transport hub in the west of Paris

With the arrival of Tram 3, the rapidly changing Porte Maillot sector will become a major exchange point for the west of Paris. New connections will be offered to tram users with the arrival of the RER E extended by 2022, which will complement metro line 1 and RER C. This busy square will become a central hub, just a few minutes from the Gare Saint-Lazare and La Défense.

The extended Tram 3 will also connect with metro line 3 at Porte de Champerret, and with line 2 and RER C at Porte Dauphine.
