Soon an urban cable car to link Lille and Pas-de-Calais? | News
Bookbinder Lille to Pas-de-Calais thanks to a cable car ? This is the project that is currently on the table. The objective is obvious: to unclog the roads, avoid traffic jams and open up the territory.
5 Pas-de-Calais intermunicipalities are involved and are considering the most effective way to facilitate travel. It is Béthune-Bruay, Artois-Lys-Romane, Flandre-Lys, Pays de Saint-Omer, Pays de Lumbres and inland Flanders. They”come together to conduct a study to facilitate home-work travel for people who come to work in the Lille metropolitan area, but also to better connect these territories to the MEL.” we explain on France Bleue. It is estimated that around 12,000 workers are affected. And therefore 12,000 to hit traffic jams to drive you crazy on the outskirts of Lille.

Greener, cheaper… The mayor of Béthune understood this well: “One kilometer of railway, it’s between 20 and 22 million euros, a kilometer of 2×2 lanes is six million euros (..), teleported transport is between 10 and 12 million euros. It’s worth watching.“
