Coteaux Beauclair station (French pronunciation: [koto boklɛʁ]) is a station on Line 11 of the Paris Métro. The station is situated in the communes of Rosny-sous-Bois and Noisy-le-Sec. It is the line's first and only station that is elevated and is located on a 580-metre-long (1,900 ft) viaduct.[1]

History

The station opened on 13 June 2024 as part of the extension of the line from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny–Bois-Perrier.[2][3]

The station was initially given the provisional name of Londeau-Domus, after the nearby residential area of Londeau and the adjacent Domus shopping centre.[4][5]

Construction

The station along with its associated viaduct were constructed by a consortium formed by Bouygues Construction, Soletanche Bachy, EFF (Entreprise française de fondations), and Victor Buyck Steel Construction.[6][7] It is the first completely elevated station built on the network since 1905, built to compensate for the steep slope the station is located in.[8][9] The station and viaducts were designed by Marc Mimram [fr] to evoke the spirit of earlier elevated stations built on the network with its metal colonnade and glass roof.[10] This came after an architectural competition held by the Île-de- France Mobilités (IDFM) and RATP in 2013 together with local stakeholders.[11]

Civil works started in July 2019.[12] The installation of the glass roof was completed in July 2021. Civil works on the station platforms were completed by end 2021, with track laying beginning that summer and was completed in mid-December 2021.[13] Three days of loading tests were also carried out in October 2022 with the new MP 14 rolling stock to ensure the structural viability of the viaduct.[14][15] The project also involved the creation of a promenade beneath the viaducts, converging towards the station and a public square in front of it.[13]
