The future gateway of the station will cross the SNCF tracks. It will be overtopped by a glass screen acting as catenary protection. Overlooking a beam of railway tracks, it will be installed during 2 week-ends of catenary cut, scheduled in spring 2019.
This work will provide a link between the passenger building and the Place Pierre-Semard, city side, and the multimodal platform, district side, with an immediate vicinity with the future underground parking and the cultural and sports complex.
