25,000 vehicles on average use it daily.

The A46 motorway which bypasses the agglomeration of Lyon from the east will remain twice two lanes.

The elected officials of the metropolis voted, this Monday afternoon, against the project to expand the infrastructure aimed at adding an additional traffic lane in both directions, between the nodes of Ternay and Mannissieux.

If they “share the observation of a congested motorway”, they consider that the solution proposed by the State and ASF is “inappropriate”.

“All scientific studies show that new road capacities generate an increase in road traffic to the detriment of other modes of travel.

Widening the A46 will very quickly induce new flows, more pollution and an acceleration of urban sprawl, ”explains Jean-Charles Kohlhaas, Deputy Vice-President for Travel.

The revived railway bypass project?

"It is possible to contain traffic on the A46 by offering credible alternatives" supports the metropolis, thus putting the rail bypass project back on track.

"It would remove nearly 9,000 heavy goods vehicles per day," she pleads.

The CFAL was the subject of a public debate in 2001, its northern section obtained a Declaration of Public Utility (DUP) in 2012 but no achievement followed.

"The A46 widening project ignores or minimizes the potential of public transport and carpooling to meet the mobility needs of the sector," continues the community.

The transformation of SYTRAL into a public establishment, on January 1, 2022, offers a great opportunity to finally strengthen the public transport service in the Pays de l'Ozon, hitherto managed by the Region.

"

The metropolis of Lyon announces that it is also considering the creation of a metropolitan expression service, this time towards the North Isère and the conurbations of Vienne-Condrieu.

A service that would eventually combine a train service every 15 minutes between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. and express coaches on the motorway.
