Abstract: |
The Eurométropole de Strasbourg (EMS) has awarded the Strasbourg Public Transport Company (CTS) the project to extend Line D of the tram to Kehl (Germany); work started in 2014. The project extends the Strasbourg network into Germany and will be key to developing cross-border links. Its completion requires building some spectacular infrastructures, including the Rhine Bridge. Selected by the EMS and the town of Kehl on the recommendation of the CTS, the project's contracting agent, the design and build of the structure was awarded to a consortium of businesses comprising Bouygues TPRF, Victor Buyck SC, Lingenheld TP, Früh Ingenieurbau(*), Arcadis and Marc Barani Architects. |
