Press release
23 December 2024Excavation of the second segment for Duplex A86 linking Pont Colbert (in Jouy-en-Josas) to highway A13 (Vaucresson-Le Chesnay) over a distance of 5.5 kilometres was completed on Thursday, August 23, 2007 with the tunnel borer’s spectacular exit at the A13 interchange.
Duplex A86, an innovative tunnel consisting of two superimposed traffic decks reserved for light vehicles, will link Rueil-Malmaison to Versailles, thus completing the “super ring road” around Paris. The tunnel will allow drivers to complete the trip in under less than 10 minutes, instead of the 45 minutes currently needed.
The launch of the first segment of the tunnel, between Rueil-Malmaison and highway A13, is set for spring 2008; work on the second segment of the tunnel should be completed in 2010.
