The Olympic Works Delivery Company (SOLIDEO) is preparing to coordinate for almost a month the installation of the wooden footbridge designed above the A1 motorway and intended to facilitate the pedestrian connection between the municipalities of Dugny and Le Bourget (Seine-Saint-Denis).

Like the pedestrian crossing imagined between the Stade de France and the future Olympic Aquatic Center in Saint-Denis, or the footbridge to provide the link within the Athletes’ Village between Île-Saint-Denis and Saint-Denis above the Seine, the work in progress between Dugny and Le Bourget is part of the same desire to reconnect territories.
Also, while the first two footbridges have already been laid, with landscaping which is continuing first with a view to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and then for the sake of heritage, the wooden footbridge will it can be deployed during the summer of 2023.
Taking advantage of the nocturnal closures of the A1 motorway linked to maintenance operations carried out by the Île-de-France Roads Department (DIRIF), SOLIDEO will supervise a new phase of the footbridge installation work for which the two support piers were poured during the first half of 2023 before being tilted last June to be able to receive in fine apron.
Concretely, the installation of the footbridge will begin on the evening of July 17 and end on August 11, 2023.
During this period, the A1 will be specifically closed from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. between Porte de la Chapelle (peripheral boulevard) and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport (A3 motorway) for three times four nights, i.e. July 17 to 21 in the Paris-Lille direction, then from July 31 to August 04 a you August 07 to 11 in both directions of traffic. However, no closures will be initiated during the week of July 24.

Made of Douglas fir from the Morvan, the footbridge will be made up of several pieces of wood which will be transported by exceptional convoys from the Doubs before being assembled on the reception site of the structure.
Once there, and at the rate of the aforementioned successive closures, the wooden elements will therefore be lifted and then placed in the planned locations, initially on the Bourget side and then on the Dugny side.
After this crucial phase in the construction of the footbridge, the central part of which will be no less than 100 meters long, the installation of the coating, but also the railings, will take place over the next few months, before opening to the public – pedestrians and cyclists exclusively – planned for the first quarter of 2024.
Ultimately, this new crossing dedicated to soft mobility will ensure comfort and safety for those wishing to join the Bourget Sports and School Park, which is also a constituent point of the heritage of the Paris 2024 Games in Seine-Saint- Dennis.
More broadly, the construction of the footbridge will also improve accessibility towards Parc Georges Valbon de La Courneuve and sectors of Land of Essences and of theWinds area where an important landscape requalification is at work, independently of the departure of the shooting events which were initially to be established there before being relocated to Châteauroux (Indre).
Funder to the tune of 10 million euros, SOLIDEO is notably supported in this project by the contribution of the Métropole du Grand Paris (MGP) which is committed for 4 million euros.
