Project description
The project for infrastructure works and partial redevelopment works on Boulevard de la Pétrusse is being carried out in the Gare district, between Avenue de la Liberté and Rue d'Anvers.
Among other works, this project involves replacing and upgrading the infrastructure, building a cycle path, creating parking, resurfacing along +/- 350 m of the roadway, and works to bring the pedestrian crossings and bus stops into compliance.
The works will be undertaken in five phases, with the first phase beginning in the first half of 2022 at Place de Metz. The following phases will see the works move progressively towards the intersection with Rue d'Anvers. The fifth and final phase will be completed in late 2023.
