Future metros at a standstill, new tram lines on stand-by, extension of an unresolved RER: construction sites in transport have suffered from the health crisis. These works have now all resumed, but cannot run at full speed due to sanitary measures. Uncertainties remain on the commissioning dates.
In addition to the Grand Paris Express metro sites, led by the Société du Grand Paris, here is the list of work in progress conducted by the RATP, the SNCF and Ile-de-France Mobilités, on which 2,500 people are mobilized. It will undoubtedly be necessary to count a few months of delay compared to the entry into service initially planned.
Subways
Line 14 North between Saint-Lazare and Mairie de Saint-Ouen. Commissioning initially planned for: September 2020. The development of the four new stations resumed at the end of April, as did the testing of the new trains at night.

Line 4 between Mairie de Montrouge and Bagneux. Planned in 2021, automation in 2022. The installation of landing doors, prior to the automation of the line, has resumed. Mairie de Montrouge is equipped, making 17 stations ready out of the 27 on the line. A command post (PCC), essential for running metros without drivers, was put into service on May 3.
