2025 won’t be any different, and for regular metro users, it looks like it might be a long year ahead. The reason? Dozens and dozens of partial or total line closures due to work, renovations, and other modernizations. Here’s a little recap of everything that’s been announced so far.

Track renewals, electrical systems getting a refresh, new trains… There are so many reasons that justify a metro shutdown. But no matter the reason, one thing is for sure, it’s never fun when you’re trying to head home after a little drink with colleagues or hopping on the metro on a Sunday to check out a little museum with friends. And unfortunately, next year doesn’t seem all that bright, as closures have already been announced on 10 lines, with 3 especially affected. Here’s the scoop.


6, 9, and 14, three lines at the center of the storm

Whether they're considered modern (1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, and 14) or traditional (3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 13), metro lines often need a little sprucing up, to ensure even better service and to p...taking into account the needs of the ever-increasing number of travelers. And starting in January, three lines will be meticulously examined by the maintenance agents.

To kick things off, the 6 line is going to have a bumpy ride this year, with partial or total closures throughout. And it starts today, as until February 12, no trains will be running after 10 PM. There are also two completely closed days when the mint green line will be entirely inaccessible, on January 26 and June 15. It’s a heavy and complex schedule, and you can check out the details right here.

On line 9, the timetable will be much easier to follow, with no closures only starting at 5:23 PM every other day at certain stations. But don’t celebrate just yet, as it will still be a hassle, because the line will be completely closed for 8 days this year, starting with January 19. This will be followed by February 2 and 16.

e;vrier, March 9 and 30, May 4 and 31, and from June 1. Yay!

To wrap things up, join us (or not) on line 14 for a truly delightful experience. Here, it’s the same story as line 6, lots of closures, for example, every Wednesday evening starting at 10 PM. And this time, there will be 12 days when the violet line will be completely inaccessible. It’s a packed schedule, which you can check out right here.</p


Little Troubles Left and Right

As if that wasn't enough, some more little interruptions are being added to these massive works. But don't worry, these little troubles will seem minor compared to the schedules we've just shared with you.

Thus, lines 2, 5, 10, and 13 will benefit from track renewals and new train cars for line 10, so they will be closed here and there for a few days. Line 12 won't be running to allow for the installation of 138 new traffic lights. Other lines will receive a new operating system. And here’s the schedule:

Line 2: closed from Père-Lachaise to Nation from February 26 to March 2
Line 3: closed from Pont de Levallois-Bécon to Wagram from February 15 to 20
Line 5: closed from Place d’Italie to Bastille from April 15 to 23
Line 10: closed from Boulogne-Pont-de-Saint-Cloud to Duroc from May 5 to 11
Line 12: closed from Concorde to Montparnasse on April 12 and 13, and completely closed after 10 PM on April 20 and 27
Line 13: closed from La Fourche to Gabriel Péri from June 7 to 9
