2031?
2032?
The Grand Paris metro will not be completed as planned in 2030, the complete opening of the circular line having "probably a delay of a few months", indicated the president of the Société du Grand Paris (SGP), Jean-François Monteils this Tuesday.
But "we are not two years" behind, he added.
The SGP is in charge of building 200 km of automatic metro, with four new lines - numbered from 15 to 18 - and the extensions of line 14. Articulating around a circular line, several branches must connect the airports of Orly and Roissy, the scientific center of Saclay and the sensitive districts of Seine-Saint-Denis.
The lines are divided into several batches, each with a calendar.
No opening date announced
“We are going to break the course of 2030, we are going to reset the deadline for commissioning the last two sections” of line 15, from Pont de Sèvres to Saint-Denis Pleyel then to Champigny, explained Jean-François Monteils on Tuesday.
"We do not concretely have an offer which is to be put into service in 2030", for the realization of the lot going from Pont de Sèvres to La Défense and Courbevoie, to the west, he noted.
Jean-François Monteils, however, refused to advance an opening date until the group responsible for its construction has been chosen.
"The last deadline for the Grand Paris Express will not be 2030", hinting at an opening target of 2031. "We are shifting a few months, and we feel much more robust on the overall schedule", he underlined .
"Perfectly on time" for the extensions of line 14 for the 2024 Olympics
The SGP boss does not think that the other three lots of line 15 to the north and east of Paris - the two sections "15 west" and "15 east" of the circular line being divided into four lots, of which the realization will be entrusted to a group of BTP - will fall further behind.

The schedule for the rest of the work on the Grand Paris metro, updated in July 2021, is however confirmed.
“We are perfectly on time” for the extensions of line 14 expected for the 2024 Olympic Games, to the north as far as Saint-Denis Pleyel and to the south at Orly airport, noted Jean- Francois Monteils.
It is then the "15 south", the first section of the circular line, which should open at the end of 2025 between Pont de Sèvres, Champigny and Noisy-Champs.
