After over two years of works, Place de la République in Saint- Ouen (north of Paris) has been transformed to open up more space for cycling and walking.
METROPOLITAN FRANCE
In France, revenue generated by locally based companies picked up slightly, driven by buoyant activity in roadworks, railways and water works.
Road
Drawing on their strong local roots, these subsidiaries principally took on flow-business projects. The main operations undertaken during the year were:
- In roads and motorways: work on the RN52 national road (north-east France), the A86 motorway at Vélizy-Villacoublay (north-central France), the A709 bypassing Montpellier and the A9 between Orange and Remoulins (southern France), and the A43 between Montmélian and Aiton (south-east France).
- In urban transport infrastructure and active mobility: creation, extension or refurbishment of tram lines in Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing (north-east France), Melun (north-central France), Bordeaux (south-west France), Annemasse, Aubagne and Lyon (south-east France), and Montpellier; construction of cycling lanes or greenways in Hettange-Grande (north-east France), Bussy-Saint-Georges (first section of the express cycling route) and Villejuif (both in north- central France), in Sète (south-west France), in Avignon and along the coastline at Le Lavandou (south-east France), along the Bordeaux waterfront, and in Paris; development of new-generation bus routes in the greater Bordeaux and Clermont-Ferrand (central France) areas. In the latter, crews are working on two new 12 km and 17 km long bus rapid transit lines, including 8 km of segregated bus lanes and redevelopment work in the adjacent streets.
- In airport infrastructure: renovation of the runway and taxiways at Troyes-Barberey airport (north-east France).
- In urban development: construction in northern France (Granville, Metz, Montreuil, Senlis and Trégastel), central France (Auxerre and Saint-Amand- Montrond), southern France (Arcachon, Bayonne, Grenoble, Nice and Montpellier) and Paris, where teams completed work on the memorial garden dedicated to the victims of the 13 November 2015 terrorist attacks. On this project, they depaved 3,600 sq. metres and renovated 400 sq. metres of roadway, 720 sq. metres of pedestrian pavement and 1,330 sq. metres of pathways using flagstones and cobblestones. The former paved square in front of Saint- Gervais church reopened in June 2025 as a place of remembrance and community life.
- In the logistics, industrial and commercial platforms sector: new industrial platform in Le Haillan (south-west France), a new logistics platform for AGCO in Gandrange (north-east France) and refurbishment of Terminal Irlande at the port of Dunkirk (northern France).
Road France subsidiaries have also taken part in a growing number of climate adaptation projects, for example with the Revilo® integrated solution for cooling urban spaces. The solution is based on light-coloured, permeable pavement materials that limit heat absorption and improve rainwater infiltration, combined with reworked soil that facilitates plant development, thicker vegetation and local run-off water management. In 2025, it was deployed in several municipalities across France, in the north-west (Morbihan), south-west (Charente-Maritime and Pyrénées-Atlantiques) and south-east (Alpes-Maritimes), and in Yvelines (near Paris), was included in the project for Line 5 of the Montpellier tramway, and was used in the renovation of approximately 10 school playgrounds in north-west France (Côtes-d’Armor and Sarthe), central France (Indre) and south-west France (Dordogne). In Paris, VINCI Construction continues to roll out its Oasis school playgrounds, which combine permeable surfacing with new greenery and play areas, and offer pupils spaces where they can cool down and relax despite rising temperatures. Since 2017, 165 school grounds have upgraded with the Oasis solution, including several dozen by Road France teams.
Upstream in the construction supply chain, Road France extracted 46 million tonnes of aggregates from its network of 190 quarries in France and Belgium in 2025.
VINCI Construction aims to double its production of aggregates made from recycled materials by 2030, leveraging its 200 Granulat+ recycling platforms. Seventy of them offer the Ogêo® range of highly technical aggregates, which are produced locally and custom formulated with primary resources (from its quarries) and secondary resources (from eight responsible collection streams) to meet each customer’s specific needs.
