Sarens is currently undertaking a project of iconic significance for the modernisation of the national rail network in France. As part of the project, first the two century-old rail bridges weighing 468 tonnes each – the Pont de Chartres for RER line B and Pont de Gallardon for RER line C – will be dismantled. Next, two new bridge sections will be installed. The two new bridges will allow the passage of faster and more efficient trains in two Paris lines that are used by a total of over 1.5 million people daily in the metropolitan area of Paris. The comfort of local residents will also be improved, with a reduction in traffic noise and vibrations.
