Five Major Projects Set to Transform Nice

The local paper gives a short roundup of the "big projects". The new tram line from Nice to Cagnes sur Mer? Still planned to open in 2028. The new underground road tunnel that will take traffic from the bypass to the motorway (and anybody that has driven West out of Nice will appreciate this one): slipped from end of the year to Spring next year. The new train station near the airport? Open in 2028 and promises spectacular architecture, one of the most impressive in France, with nature and plants "under the roof". The new conference centre in the Port of Nice, overlooking the sea? Despite claims that 2025 is unrealistic, the mayor says it will be built "quicker than you think" and will be a permanent fixture. Finally the new exhibition centre, one of the largest in Europe at over 40,000sqm, will be completed just north of the airport by 2028. So there you go. In 5 years Nice will be transformed into one of the premiere business destinations in Europe.
