The development of bicycle use is accelerating in the metropolis of Lyon and Tuesday, February 22, 2022 is an important date for the future network of cycle paths ” Lyon’s roads« .
From this Tuesday, work on line 1, which will connect Vaulx-en-Velin to Saint-Fons over a total distance of 20.5 km, will start on Quai Claude Bernard. This work will last until June 24, 2022 and will require the reduction of Quai Claude Bernard to one traffic lane.
The very first “Lyonnaise route” should be put into service this year, in 2022, and will make it possible to better connect Vaulx-en-Velin to Saint-Fons via Villeurbanne and Lyon.
Where will the first line of bicycles pass?
Line 1 will cross the Saint Jean district at Villeurbanne. The first line of the Voies Lyonnaises will serve the Doua campus via avenue Albert Einstein and boulevard du 11 Novembre 1918 in Villeurbanne.
At the center of the axis, the line passes through the city of Lyon and its left bank of the Rhône. The section of the left bank of the Rhône between the Winston Churchill bridge and the Lafayette bridge will be taken over from time to time in order to improve fluidity and safety at intersections.
The Wilson bridge has also been offering a real cycle path separated from cars for a few days.
The section between the Lafayette bridge and the Guillotière bridge will be resumed in 2022 to offer a width of 4 meters. The layout between the Guillotière bridge and Place Ollier will be retained.
Better connect the Vallée de la Chimie by bike
At Jean-Moulin Lyon 3 University, the reduction to two traffic lanes will allow the insertion of this first line of Voies Lyonnaises on the roadway in order to increase the comfort of pedestrians and the greening of the high quay. The layout
will continue to the Gallieni bridge, where the crossing for cycles will be improved.
This sequence, which does not yet have a cycle link, will be developed as a priority with delivery delivered in March 2022, according to the Métropole du Grand Lyon. The connection between the Gallieni bridge and the Halle Tony Garnier Debourg station in Lyon 7th remains to be defined. It will allow the connection to the tracks planned along the future T10 tramway, the work of which is planned from 2024 to 2026.
The link will also provide access to Saint-Fons station and the Vallée de la chimie. The first developed section of this first line of the Voies Lyonnaises will be located in front of the Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University.
