Bordeaux État station

Bordeaux-État or Bordeaux-Deschamps was a mainline railway station in the French city of Bordeaux. The station was at the terminus of the line from Paris of the CF de l'État. The station opened late on 1 August 1896 after years of building a line to compete with the PO's line also from Paris. On 1 August 1893, the last portion of the main line was opened and État trains were permitted to use the Midi's Gare de Bordeaux Saint-Jean station. Three years later, the 2 km long branch to Bordeaux-État was opened as well as the station. Only a small number of trains ever used the station as most were routed to Saint-Jean to allow passengers to use connecting services. Bordeaux-État was closed at the creation of the SNCF and all services were rerouted to Saint-Jean. The station was situated near the Pont de Pierre and was subsequently converted into a cinema and restaurants.

Situation ferroviaire

Le pont ferroviaire de Bordeaux est situé au point kilométrique (PK) 582,842 de la ligne de Paris-Austerlitz à Bordeaux-Saint-Jean, à proximité de cette gare-ci. Il est également emprunté par les circulations de la ligne de Chartres à Bordeaux-Saint-Jean, qui rejoignent cette même gare.

Origine du projet

Au début des années 2000, le projet de construction de la LGV Sud Europe Atlantique, ligne qui se termine désormais à quelques kilomètres au nord du pont (en confluant sur la ligne de Paris-Austerlitz à Bordeaux-Saint-Jean), nécessitait de doubler le nombre de voies à l'arrivée à la gare de Bordeaux-Saint-Jean, en raison de la hausse prévue du trafic. Le pont existant, la passerelle Eiffel construit en 1860 ne comportant que deux voies, arrivait à saturation et participait ainsi au bouchon ferroviaire de Bordeaux en ne pouvant donc plus absorber cette hausse. Le nouveau pont, avec ses quatre voies, devait ainsi faciliter l'accès à ladite gare et aux lignes ferroviaires du sud de la Garonne.

Construction

Le bureau d'études belge Greisch (BEG) fut le principal intervenant choisi, avec pour mission le contrôle général des travaux et les études du tablier métallique. La première pierre fut posée le jeudi 16 mars 2006. La mise en service sera faite le 11 mai 2008. Les travaux auront coûté 55 millions d’euros.
