Le CDG Express<\/strong> will therefore not be welcoming the large number of foreign visitors expected for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games<\/strong>. Nor business travellers, who are impatiently awaiting this new link between the capital and its airport... Elisabeth Borne<\/strong>Minister for Transport, made it official on 29 May <\/strong>The project has been postponed until the end of the year 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priority for everyday transport is not just a slogan<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Based on the report submitted on 18 April<\/strong> by the Prefect of the \u00cele-de-France region, who stresses \" the extreme difficulty of completing all the work in the current schedule, i.e. by December 2023 <\/em>\"As a result, the Minister opted to postpone the project. Two scenarios were proposed: \" Either to meet the 2024 Olympic Games deadline for the CDG Express, but without carrying out all the associated operations; Or to reduce the impact on everyday travellers and the risk for SNCF R\u00e9seau, by pushing back the deadline for the CDG Express. bringing the CDG Express into service by the end of 2025<\/strong> <\/em>\"said Elisabeth Borne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\" La priority to everyday transport<\/strong>is not a slogan. They are sometimes difficult decisions<\/strong>which must illustrate this. And that's what we're doing today. This will make it possible to build this vital link in a very practical way, but without having to go through, for example early line closures from 11pm on weekdays<\/strong>which would be particularly damaging <\/em>\"says \u00c9lisabeth Borne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

organise a specific direct service between CDG and Paris on RER B during the Olympic Games<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of the CDG Express will therefore not be part of the Olympic celebrations, but the link between Paris and the airport should nevertheless be improved, according to the Minister. The SNCF has been asked to \" organise, in conjunction with Ile-de-France Mobilit\u00e9s a specific direct service between CDG and Paris on the RER<\/strong> B during the Olympic Games. The aim is clear: to ensure that our capital has a direct link between Paris and its airport during this exceptional event, the Olympic Games.<\/em> \"says Elisabeth Borne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
