"On June 3, we will no longer have a bus at this location."
While he spoke of the disappearance of buses on the axis of Champ Jacquet, the elected socialist Didier Le Bougeant despite himself disclosed the estimated date of the inauguration of line B of the Rennes metro, before changing his mind.
“It's very uncertain.
We can rather speak of a date in the summer, ”immediately corrected, cautious, the first assistant of Nathalie Appéré Marc Hervé.
Contacted, the vice-president of the metropolis delegated to transport is also clear.
"The goal is the end of spring, but we are not in a position to give such a precise date", assures Matthieu Theurier.
Announced for December 21, the delivery of line B had to be postponed due to the stoppage of construction sites at the time of containment.
Semtcar, a public company responsible for monitoring the site, had then expressed the objective of an opening "in the spring".
Six months after this postponement announcement, the schedule remains uncertain as the Covid-19 epidemic disrupts the schedules.
“It is very difficult to anticipate this crisis is so unpredictable.
We sometimes receive parts from abroad.
This project is complex, ”recalls Marc Hervé.
Started in 2013, this colossal project will enable Rennes to acquire a second metro line, nineteen years after the inauguration of line A. Valued at 1.3 billion euros and equipped with 15 stations, the he infrastructure should allow 75% of Rennes to live within ten minutes of a station.
