Throughout the year, public transport in Paris is affected by roadworks. While Transilien and RER lines are particularly affected, several metro lines are also affected on a more occasional basis. Over the next few weeks, Paris metro line 9 will be affected.
RATP has announced that "traffic will be interrupted on the entire line for 5 Sundays between January and March 2025". The reason for this?Modernization work on line 9's operating systems". To improve these operating systems, tests will be carried out to optimize train control, and the line will be closed all day on five occasions between January and March 2025.
In detail, metro line 9 will be completely closed on Sundays January 19, February 2 and 16, then March 9 and 30, 2025. "Other dates will also be scheduled for 2025", warns RATP. Note that lines connecting with line 9 will remain accessible."Only stations with no connecting lines will be completely closed to passengers", says the Régie autonome des transports parisiens.
To help passengers make the most of their journey, RATP is introducing a bus service. This will run in both directions between Pont de Sèvres and Michel-Ange - Auteuil, then between Nation and Mairie de Montreuil. These buses will operate at the same times as the metro,"with a run every 5 to 14 minutes, depending on the time of day", explains the Régie autonome des transports parisiens. Stopping points will be indicated at the entrances to the stations served.
Users can also take other lines, such as the 22 bus to the west. To the east, they can take metro line 3, RER line A or bus N°57.
Metro line 9 runs between Mairie de Montreuil to the east of Paris and Pont de Sèvres to the west. It serves stations such as Nation, République, Strasbourg Saint-Denis, Havre-Caumartin, Franklin-Roosevelt, Trocadéro and Porte de Saint-Cloud.
