Fast-track worksite in Bordeaux

5 July 2010 - New contracts - France

Over the long Ascension weekend, teams from the southern regional operations and civil engineering offices of Européenne de Travaux Ferroviaires (Eurovia), in association with Eurovia’s Bordeaux office, were hard at work lifting 1,200 m of track and laying 220 m of new track alongside a new platform in the railway station in Bordeaux, all within the space of just 85 hours. The station was closed throughout this period, but was already reopened to travellers, with a resumption of traffic, as of Sunday 16 May.
