Line 14: new works planned, find out the timetable for closures

Line 14 users thought they were rid of the problem, but that's not the case. Extended to the north and then to the south on June 24, line 14 will once again be disrupted by construction work. In a press release published on November 26, RATP announced that the modernization work will continue until 2025.

" Line 14 has passed a major milestone with the opening of the extension to Saint-Denis - Pleyel and Aéroport d'Orly," says the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, adding that this work should enable " additional functionalities of the new system to be tested in real-life conditions to make it even more efficient ".

As a result, " the complete modernization of line 14 and its control system still requires work and testing ". Since these tests must be carried out " outside passenger traffic ", RATP has no choice but to close line 14 entirely for several evenings and on certain Sundays and public holidays, " until 2025 ", it adds.

So what's the timetable for these upcoming closures? When will line 14 be inaccessible again? On its website, RATP points out that traffic on this famous purple line of the Paris metro is currently interrupted every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening, from 10pm onwards, until December 19, 2024 inclusive.

Then, from January 2025, line 14 will again be closed from 10pm, Monday to Wednesday. However, RATP has announced two changes compared with the end of the year. Specifically, line 14 will be partially closed between Saint-Denis Pleyel and Olympiades on Monday and Tuesday evenings, then completely closed on Wednesday evenings.
