Park & Ride Thionville - Metzange (France)
The northern region of Moselle, close to the border between France and Luxembourg, is highly trafficked by business travelers in both directions. Both private vehicles and public transport are responsible for the congestion of this strategic route, which has created concerns related to the quality of life in the region, the safety and ease of travel of border workers, and ultimately the status of the infrastructures over time.
To ease the traffic off the French portion of A31 direction “Luxembourg” a temporary park-and-ride facility has been arranged on the premises of the Kinépolis movie theater in Thionville. The situation became critical: its 468 parking spaces proved not sufficient, nor has the addition of 150 bays. With the site being fully booked as early as 6:40 am (40 minutes earlier than usual) users were plunged into great distress. To accommodate all vehicles, an efficient and larger solution became mandatory. The ideal location for the new park-and-ride facility was identified in 2019.
