Saint-Denis Pleyel is a future Paris Métro station located in Saint-Denis, in the northern suburbs of Paris.[1] Currently under construction as part of the Grand Paris Express project, the station is proposed to open in 2024 as the terminus of Line 14. In future, the station will serve the orbital Line 15 and be the terminus of lines 16 and 17.

Location[]

Located in Saint-Denis, the station will be built west of the Paris-Lille railway lines, at the corner of Rue Pleyel and Francisque-Poulbot.[2] Within walking distance of the station will be the Carrefour Pleyel station on Line 13. A bridge will also connect the station to Stade de France–Saint-Denis on RER D.[3]

Design[]

The station will be designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma.[4][5] An artwork will be installed in the station, designed by Belgian singer, songwriter and rapper Stromae and his younger brother.[6]

Built over 9 levels, the station will be able to accommodate 250,000 passengers a day - comparable to Châtelet–Les Halles.[7] Located close to the Stade de France, the station will serve the stadium and other venues for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.[3]

Construction[]

Construction of the station began in March 2017 with preparatory work.[8] The station is planned to open in 2024 in time for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as part of an extension of Line 14 from Saint-Ouen.[1]
