First Grand Paris line to open in 2020

摘要

Societe du Grand Paris announced on July 15 that its supervisory board had authorised the release of €5.3bn to fund construction of the first phase of the Grand Paris Express project. This covers the southern part of Line 15 from Pont-de-Sevres to Noisy-Champs under the revised scheme announced by the government in March (RG 4.13 p14). A public enquiry will be launched 'in the autumn' and work will commence in 2015 with a view to opening in 2020.
