Line work begins in Paris 13th arrondissement

The construction of the Tzen 5 is starting in Paris 13th, on Avenue de France (from n° 88-89 to n° 2) and Place Farhat Hached. From the beginning of November 2026 until March 2027, the work includes the resumption of the carriageway and signage on the entire section. They also include the rebuilding of the platform edges at the stations, to accommodate the new buses and improve accessibility, and the installation of station furniture.

The work is progressing in successive sectors. The first phase runs from November to early December 2026. It includes night-time interventions, which can cause noise and vibrations, on the nights of November 2 to 4 and November 16 to 17.

What impacts?

• Car traffic: maintenance of both directions of traffic, with occasional reductions to one lane.
• Bus: temporary relocation of the stops "Bibliothèque rue Mann" (avenue de France) and "Porte de France" (rue Alice Domon).
• Cycles: neutralisation of the cycle path at the corner of Avenue de France and Boulevard du Général d'Armée Jean Simon, with the implementation of a diversion.
• Pedestrians: paths maintained, occasionally moved.
• Access to local residents, shops and emergency services: maintained.

The site's rights-of-way will move from one side of the track to the other as the work progresses.
