Since the beginning of April, our Eiffage Rail teams have been mobilized nightly near Tours, for the preparatory phases of the track switch replacements on the Atlantic High-Speed Line.

During this initial phase, our teams installed an expansion device and replaced 80 meters of sleepers each night.

Now, the focus shifts to the main works, which will continue until early July with a demanding schedule: ballast consolidation, shoulder cleaning, and track switch replacement.

The work is primarily carried out at night with the aim of returning the track to service for high-speed train users. All of this is happening in parallel with the project being carried out on the South-East European High-Speed Line near Solers.

This project is a partnership with Captrain France, on behalf of SNCF Réseau.
