The winner for the Major Project of the Year in the over-€500M category is EOLE – Paris East-West Rail Express Link, France.
EOLE, the Paris East-West Express Rail Link, expands the current E line of the RER (Regional Express Network) by 55 km, connecting the existing St. Lazare Station – 2nd busiest station in Europe with more than 450,000 passengers/day, in the heart of Paris – to the western metropolitan region.
Operation is set to begin mid-2024, on time for the Paris Olympic Games.
