# SYSTRA France wins contract for new cycle path

The Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany aims to improve the cycle connection
between Saint-Malo and Dinard via the La Rance dam. To achieve this, the
Departmental Council has awarded the consortium led by SYSTRA the technical
project management assistance contract for this flagship project for a period of
six years, in partnership with the architectural firm Felaa.

Work will begin once the numerous technical, environmental and consultation
challenges presented by this cycle link have been overcome during the design
phase and once the design/build consortium has been appointed.

## Accompanying the development of active modes in Brittany

The future cycle path will be located along the southern bank of the La Rance
dam, connecting La Richardais along the RD168 to Saint-Malo city centre. The
technical constraints are more specific to the dam, which is the only tidal
power plant in France: this infrastructure serves both as a power station and a
road bridge, on which a cantilevered cycle path for active modes of transport
will have to be installed.

The installation of the track and the related works must preserve road and river
traffic, as well as the dam’s hydroelectric operation. The studies must also
consider the crossing of a lift bridge and numerous environmental, heritage and
local consultation issues.

SYSTRA France’s Consultancy & Land Use department (DCA) will be responsible for
overseeing the various aspects of the project (project management and
operations, environmental and regulatory procedures, consultation, and
mobilities, in collaboration with our technical engineering experts.

By 2032, active modes of transport should therefore benefit from a safe and
sustainable route between the urban centres of northern Brittany, offering an
alternative to car use for everyday travel.

SYSTRA has already successfully completed numerous cycle path projects in
Nantes, Toulouse, Valence, Ireland and Norway.
