What alternative routes to take?

The Parisian metro line 14 is closed from February 11th to 25th due to construction work. Parisians are asked to use the rest of the transport network during this period.

This marks a new closure for line 14. For the first time this year, the automated line will not be in service for two weeks, until February 25th. A closure for maintenance work that commuters are used to.

As a result, passengers are encouraged to use other lines of the Paris network to get around.

In the north of the line, many passengers can use line 13 as an alternative, between Mairie de Saint-Ouen and Saint-Lazare or Porte de Clichy and Saint-Lazare. As with each closure of line 14, line 13 is expected to experience high traffic. The RATP has prepared for this with additional transport services.
