History edit
As part of the public consultation on the extension of line 14 to Mairie de Saint-Ouen launched in January 2010, many contributors called for a metro station at Pont-Cardinet. The STIF manager indicated, in summary of this consultation, that he would propose to the STIF Board to establish if this could be achieved.
In 2011, the diagram outlining the desaturation of line 13 considered the geological complexities including the risks of land settlement impacting existing town planning, which lead STIF to rule out the idea of a connection of line 14 with the Rome metro station to favour a connection at Pont Cardinet.[3] This option was supported both by Brigitte Kuster, UMP mayor of the 17th arrondissement, and by Annick Lepetit (PS), deputy mayor of Paris in charge of transport.
On 26 January 2011, the State and the Region agreed on the broad guidelines for public transport in Île-de-France until 2025 and, in detail,[4] recorded the planned construction of a station from line 14 to Pont Cardinet.
An inter-prefectural decree of the prefectures of Seine-Saint-Denis, Hauts-de-Seine and Paris dated 4 October 2012 declared the extension of line 14 to be of public utility.[5]
Construction of the Pont Cardinet station was entrusted to the Eiffage TP/Razel-Bec11 consortium.[6] The station was constructed as excavated vault, with modular walls. The station served as an assembly shaft for Magali, one of the two tunnel boring machines digging the extension of line 14. The 1,594 meters of tunnel between Pont Cardinet and Saint-Lazare were dug between November 2015 and June 2016 at a depth of twenty meters.[7][8] The station was once again used to relaunch the tunnel boring machine, renamed Yolène, to the north.[7]
The station opened on 14 December 2020.[9]
During the 18 days the station was open at the end of 2020, 112,229 passengers entered it, which places it in 302nd position among metro stations for its attendance out of 304 for this year.[10]
In 2021, the first full year of operation, attendance stands at 4,168,538 passengers entering, which places it in 50th position among metro stations for attendance.[11]
