VINCI Construction is
awarded the contract for works package 2
on the
Lyon–Turin
rail line
- A €1.43 billion contract covering construction of 46 km of
tunnels between Saint-Martin-la-Porte and Modane, in Savoie
(France)
- Over 5 years of work
As part of the construction of the 57.5 km
tunnel that will connect Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (France) and Susa
(Italy), the owner Tunnel Euralpin Lyon-Turin (TELT) has awarded
the contract for works package 2 to a consortium* led by VINCI
Construction Grands Projets.
This €1.43 billion contract covers a 23 km
section of twin tube tunnel between Saint-Martin-la-Porte and
Modane, in Savoie (France). The works involve digging 25 km of
tunnel using three tunnel boring machines and 21 km of tunnel using
conventional methods, and creating 71 safety tunnels and several
galleries. The project will last over five years and employ up to
1,650 people.
VINCI Construction's teams have been active on
the Lyon–Turin rail line since September 2020, handling the
preparatory work on the Avrieux shafts, perpendicular to the future
safety site at Modane.
The Lyon–Turin rail line is part of a programme
designed to expand trade in Europe upgrade passenger travel. It is
setting in motion a sustainable transition in transport by shifting
long-distance freight from roads to rail lines. By 2030, it will
replace 1 million heavy vehicles on Alpine roads and lower
greenhouse gas emissions by about 3 million tonnes of CO2
equivalent per year.

underground works in several countries, in particular through
