It is said that to achieve something, time and patience are required! It’s true that with new technologies everything moves faster, but the moral remains the same.
This approach allows for a transition from an inauguration to a milestone since the work site became operational a few years ago. Let us remember Catherine, the tunnel boring machine, and the spectacular installation operation.
Time passes, times change, and here we are waiting for D-Day when, finally and as confirmed, we will be able to board the train instead of visiting the site and hearing the story from the beginning to the present day.
The work progresses, the damage from a few incidents has been repaired, the tracks laid, tests ongoing, and we patiently await the day of the first journey… passengers on board!
If the first section is inaugurated and operational on June 30th (confirmed date), a second will be added before Christmas, allowing direct access to the airport (terminals 1 and 2) from the city center or vice-versa.
A beautiful entryway, a welcome card that tourists and other travelers will appreciate at its true worth, making the business district more attractive as it develops nearby at Grand Arénas, facilitating routes to Nice-Méridia and Saint-Isidore (including Allianz Riviera) with the consequent benefits.
With the underground part – additional costs and controversies aside – reaching the port, the loop will be closed, and Christian Estrosi will be able to present himself to the voters with the slogan: mission accomplished.
This is why he monitors the progress of the works as diligently as a housewife watches milk on the stove. The bet was significant, and he is on the verge of winning it.
During a visit to the airport construction site, the Mayor of Nice reviewed the street art, which, as for some time now, allows local and national artists to exhibit on the fences of this site. The theme of this exhibition: “Nice, City of Cinema.”
These works will remain in place until the end of the project.
Afterwards, what will become of all these works that accompanied the project? Who do they belong to? The artists or the City to which the artists have ceded or made them available? We are talking about 1500 square meters produced plus what will come on the new routes.
Does the City have a strategy in this regard?
