Global infrastructure operator Ferrovial, in consortium with two French construction companies, has been awarded a €438 million ($477 million) contract to build a section of Paris Metro line 18 in France.
The work is part of Europe’s largest infrastructure project, the Grand Paris Express program, which involves adding 68 new stations and 200 kilometers (124 miles) of track to the Paris underground railway.
Ferrovial has been contracted to carve out 6.7 kilometers (4.1 miles) of tunnel between the Saint-Quentin Est and Versailles-Chantiers stations in western Paris, and also build three stations and eight ancillary infrastructures.
“Participating in the Grand Paris Express mega-project evidences our extensive international experience in the design and construction of this type of urban infrastructure,” said Ignacio Gastón, CEO of Ferrovial Construction. “Some of our most iconic projects can be found in such cities as London, Sydney and Madrid.”
