The 410 metres long cover of Paris Ring Road highway atPorte de Vanvesis part of a national urban planning scheme which represents more particularly a first step, with other similar projects, of a global plan aiming at covering large parts of the Ring Road. This major artery around Paris is perceived as a “border” symbolising a sociologic, economic and cultural fracture between Paris and its suburbs. The objectives of covering it are to reduce the harmful effects of the traffic in this dense urban area and to improve the quality of the environment. This paper presents the environmental aspect of the project, through the creation of 10,000 m² of parks and the reduction of traffic pollution (particles and gas, noise, visual). It also explains the adaptation of existing structures in this particular area as part of a global project. |
