Work will be able to start. Toulouse’s third metro line will see the light of day. The environmental authorization order, necessary to carry out civil engineering works and to carry out right-of-way release works, is issued by the prefect. A public survey was conducted from December 15, 2021 to January 28, 2022 during which 311 contributions were issued.
The State services have made public the conclusions of the commission in charge of conducting the public inquiry for the application for environmental authorization for the 3rd metro line and the Airport Express Line. This commission gave a favorable opinion on the application for environmental authorisation.
In a press release, Jean-Michel Lattes, the president of Tisséo Collectivités and Tisséo Ingénierie welcomes this news: “I note with satisfaction that the commission considers that “the balance sheet advantage/disadvantage leans clearly in favor of the project”.
The third Toulouse metro line must cover 27km between Colomiers and Labège La Cadène. The objective is to start the civil engineering works at the end of 2022, for a delivery scheduled for the end of 2028.
