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 August 19, RATP announced that " modernization work on line 14 will resume in September 2024 ".
" The complete modernization of line 14 and its control system still requires work and testing," 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 ".
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 says.
So what's the timetable for these upcoming closures? When will line 14 be inaccessible again? On its website, RATP announces that traffic on this famous purple line of the Paris metro will be interrupted every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening (except Tuesday, October 15 and Monday, November 11), from 10pm, from Monday, September 9, 2024, i.e. just after the Paris Paralympic Games. The work is scheduled to continue until December 19, 2024 inclusive.
Line 14 will also be closed all day on Sundays, September 15, September 29, October 13, November 17 and November 24, 2024. " Further interruptions are expected from January 2025 onwards ", announces RATP.
To help passengers with their journey, RATP points out that several alternative routes are available, starting with a replacement bus that will run between Gare de Lyon and Olympiades stations. Another possibility? Noctilien buses in service every night.
