32 en route FRANCE The Reims tram system will be up and running FRANCE in April 2011. A PPP project, to which Colas – a shareholder in the MARS concession holder – has contributed its civil engineering and rail expertise via Colas Est, Screg Est and Colas Rail subsidiaries, all members of the construction consortium. Reims Tram System Ready to pop the champagne! On March 26, the first Reims tram – decorated entirely in pink – went on display on the plaza fronting the city’s cathedral. Brass bands, street artists and choirs provided entertainment throughout the day… before the tram was toasted with champagne! Reims Métropole and MARS (Mobilité agglomération rémoise, or Greater Reims Mobility), the concession holder for the Reims urban transport network, were keen to celebrate the start of the operational phase of a project that was launched some time ago. The tram system, a must The idea of building a tram system in Reims first came to be way back in the early 1960s, but it wasn’t until September 2003 that the preliminary studies were launched and the project finally began to take shape. The people of Reims were consulted between December ROUTES No. 25 – September 2010 Reims THE REIMS TRAM PROJECT • 11.2 km of track • 23 stations • 1 maintenance center of 8,000 m 2 • 25 minutes between Neufchâtel in the north and the Champagne-Ardenne high-speed railway station in the south • Serving more than 70,000 people, i.e., roughly one-third of the population of the city and its suburbs 2003 and January 2005 and gave the project the thumbs up. The calls for bids process then followed, with the MARS consortium (of which Colas is a member) securing the contract in July 2006. Following the completion of archeological digs and the issue of the service order in May 2008, work finally got underway. The tram system cannot come soon enough for a city whose downtown area is choked by pollution and traffic congestion, and in which some neighborhoods have very little public transport. What’s more, the public transport that does exist has reached saturation point. The city’s authorities aim to make travel much easier via intermodal passenger transport. The line will thus serve hubs that generate high levels of traffic, such as the future administrative district, the Comédie de Reims theater, the Auguste-Delaune stadium, Léo-Lagrange park, the Courlancy polyclinic, etc. Ultimately, the tram is set to serve 70,000 people, i.e., roughly one-third of the population of the city
THE FIRST TESTS The tram system’s infrastructure is now ready for the first tests to be conducted. The 18 tram cars, the fronts of which are shaped like champagne glasses, will begin carrying passengers in April 2011.
