12/12/2018BORDEAUX AIRPORT – TRAM CONNECTION CONFIRMED
The highly anticipated extension of the Tram Line A, to connect the Bordeaux Mérignac Airport, is slated for the 2022.
The extension will create four to five new stations, and a Park and Ride with a capacity of 250 places.
Currently, the airport is only connected by shuttle and local buses. Alternatively, taxis and car parking can be considered to be a costly form of getting to the airport.
The tram line A will be extended by 4.7 km. This will run from ‘Les Quatre chemins’ directly to the airport.
The planned route will run along: Avenue de la Somme, Avenue Matosinhos, Avenue Kennedy (crossing the ring road), then avenue René Cassin.
The launch of the works is scheduled for June 2019 and the delivery date is set for 2022.
