The La Côtière viaduct

30 March 2011 - Projects update and handover - France

Located to the north-east of Lyons (central France), the La Côtière viaduct was brought into service on 10 February 2011. This 1,210 m-long, 2x3- lane structure was created in 36 months (a 5-month design/ planning phase, 26 months of works and 5 months of finishing works) by a consortium notably comprising Dodin Campenon Bernard (VINCI Construction), lead contractor, and GTM TP Lyon (VINCI Construction France), with the participation of Eurovia for the water tightness. It forms part of the extension of the A432, enabling motorists coming from the A6 and heading for the Alps to bypass Lyons. Value of the works: €75m.
