Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Focus on modernising rail infrastructure

In the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, our teams are devoting all their energy to improving the performance of the rail network to address the challenges of our customers, railway undertakings and mobility organising authorities. Our investments are aimed in particular at ensuring a high level of infrastructure safety and train regularity. 

Serving customers and the regions

By its very nature, our business is firmly rooted in the areas crossed by the rail network. In Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, as in the rest of France, we work on a daily basis with many local players to maintain, modernise, develop and operate the regional network.

Our network is evolving

In response to major social and environmental challenges, our network is set to evolve. In 2025, 330 million euros will be invested in the Bourgogne-Franche Comté region's rail network, including 52 million euros in co-financing to carry out works.  

The work to renew the track between Nevers and Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and Besançon-Belfort will be the focus of 2025.

We are also carrying out modernisation works on the existing network. All these projects are carried out in conjunction with stakeholders, in a spirit of openness and dialogue.
