(footpath widening, making pedestrian crossing points safer, continuous cycle path, etc.)
To increase tram capacity to 80,000 passengers a day by 2020 in order to:
alleviate traQc on the busiest bus line
in the Paris area
develop multimodal mobility
Rueil Malmaison, 28 February 2018
Ile-de-France Mobilités1 has awarded a contract to VINCI subsidiary Eurovia to build the infrastructure for the new Tram 9 tramway line between Porte de Choisy and Orly-Ville.
Eurovia will be responsible for facade-to-facade urban development over the new 11.5 km line under a €117 million contract. These works will help to develop multimodal mobility. Specific projects have been designed to make paths safer and more pleasant: widening footpaths, making pedestrian crossing points safer (particularly near schools), and providing a continuous cycle path between Paris and the town of Orly.
Tram 9, the second tramway system in the Val-de-Marne department, will carry about 80,000 passengers per day in the 2020 timeframe and relieve crowding on the 183 bus line, the busiest in the Greater Paris area. Tram 9 will also strengthen intermodal transport in the Greater Paris area by providing a large number of connections with the area's various transport systems including the Paris metro, the bus system, the RER C regional light rail line and the future Line 15 of the Grand Paris Express.
The French government, the Ile-de-France region, the Val de Marne department, the city of Paris and the Grand-Orly Seine-Bièvre public institution (EPT) are financing the operation, for which Ile-de-France-Mobilités is programme manager.
