Line 15 West is approximately 20km long and includes nine stations. It will link Pont de Sèvres à Saint-Denis Pleyel in just 24 minutes, compared to the present journey time of 54 minutes.
The work is part of the Grand Paris Express Red Line, which encompasses Lines 15, 16 & 17. It is the fourth contract signed by Systra for the project since the end of preliminary studies. The company won a contract to assist with the systems and to manage the rolling stock/automated operation project for the entire construction Red Line. It is also managing the infrastructure project for section 2 of Line 15 and carrying out project management contract for the construction of the infrastructure maintenance site at Vitry.
Delivery is planned in two phases: service will start on the southern section up to and including Nanterre la Folie in 2025, and on the northern section in 2027.
