Location

Located in Saint-Denis, the station will be built west of the Paris-Lille railway lines, at the corner of Rue Pleyel and Francisque-Poulbot.[2] Within walking distance of the station will be the Carrefour Pleyel station on Line 13. A bridge will also connect the station to Stade de France–Saint-Denis on RER D.[3]

Design

The station will be designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.[4][5] An artwork will be installed in the station, designed by Belgian singer, songwriter and rapper Stromae and his younger brother.[6]

Built over 9 levels, the station will be able to accommodate 250,000 passengers a day - comparable to Châtelet–Les Halles.[7] Located close to the Stade de France, the station will serve the stadium and other venues for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.[3]

Construction

Construction of the station began in March 2017 with preparatory work.[8] The station is planned to open in 2024 in time for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as part of an extension of Line 14 from Saint-Ouen.[1]
