Les travaux sont programmés lors des week-ends et vacances pour limiter l'impact sur les usagers. Ces chantiers visent la modernisation des infrastructures et la préparation de futures automatisations.
Nécessaires pour moderniser le réseau, les travaux sont souvent concentrés sur les week-ends et les vacances scolaires pour minimiser leur impact sur les usagers. Ces 19 et 20 septembre n’échappent pas à la règle, avec un pic prévu dimanche 20 septembre : deux lignes de métro seront totalement fermées dans Paris, ainsi que certaines branches de RER et de Transilien.
Il s’agit notamment de la ligne 6 du métro, totalement interrompue dimanche pour «travaux de modernisation», prévient la RATP. Des bus de remplacement circuleront mais uniquement entre Charles-de-Gaulle - Étoile et La Motte-Piquet - Grenelle. Le bus 71, qui suit en partie la ligne entre Nation et Bercy, est renforcé. La ligne 13 sera également entièrement fermée ce dimanche pour préparer l’arrivée des futurs trains MF19 (à l’été 2027) et l’automatisation à horizon 2035. Ces deux lignes doivent encore être fermées plusieurs dimanches jusqu’à la fin de l’année.
Le RER C ne circule pas du week-end sur la branche Pontoise depuis la gare du Champ-de-Mars. Dimanche, il sera également interrompu entre Paris Austerlitz et Dourdan et Saint-Martin-d’Etampes. Des bus de remplacement sont proposés. Quant au RER E, il est interrompu tout le week-end entre Nanterre - La Folie et Le Plessis-Trévise, pour permettre la préparation de la correspondance avec la future ligne 15 à la gare de Rosny - Bois-Perrier. Les trains circulent en revanche entre Nanterre et Chelles - Gournay, ainsi qu’entre Le Plessis-Trévise et Tournan. Enfin, le Transilien H est interrompu tout le week-end entre Ermont - Eaubonne et Épinay - Villetaneuse.

Europe experienced record air traffic between June and August with 35,959 flights controlled per day on average, an increase of 2.4% compared to the previous year, according to Eurocontrol.

The return to normal will take time according to NATS, which acknowledged its responsibility after being summoned by Transport Minister Heidi Alexander.
