A French consortium comprising Bouygues, Tram-Tiss, Bombardier, Veolis and others has signed a €1.55bn contract in the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion to build a train and tramway system. The contract involves building a 40km rail section of the coastal route linking Sante-Marie and the airport to the east of the capital Saint-Denis with Le Port and Saint-Paul in the north-west, by 2014. The project will be funded by a public-private partnership with €435m of state funds, a loan from the European Union and the government’s economic stimulus package.
