1 A 86 Tunnel

2 2  Private motorway concessionaire company founded in 1970  Subsidiary of Vinci Group  $1 000 million (U.S.) per year revenue  1,091 km network in operation in France  2,000 employees  Worldwide experience: - 91 Express Lanes in California and I 394 in Minnesota (USA) - Toll Collect in Germany - Dartford Crossing and Severn Bridges in the UK - Rion – Antirion bridge in Greece About Cofiroute

3 3 The Need : Closing the second ring road around Paris First ring road Peripherique Second ring road A86 Paris

4 4 Project Goals  Complete the missing link of A86  Improve suburb to suburb travel  Reduce surface travel  Contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the neighborhood  No tax increase

5 5 Advantages of a Tunnel  The underground solution allows: - Reduction of harmful effects during construction - Preservation of the forested land of the Parisian greenbelt (Landscape) - Avoidance of harmful effects in residential areas (Noise) - Limitation of harmful effects on historic monuments (Patrimony) - Mitigation of surface congestion (Traffic) - Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Air Quality)

6 6 Development Timetable  Underground project proposed by Cofiroute - 1988  Concession granted to Cofiroute - 1989  Major construction begins - 1997  Concession challenged/construction stopped – 1998  Government re-bids project – 1998/1999  Cofiroute re-awarded concession – 1999  Fire in the Mont Blanc Tunnel - 1999  Construction begins again – 2000  New law on tunnels safety– 2000  Government re-approves A86 new design – 2003/2004  New deadlines for opening (EAST1 2008 / EAST2 2009)

7 7 DBFO contract with the French State  € 2 billion private investment  70 year D B F O contract  Cofiroute - Concessionaire/Operator  SOCATOP - Design/build contractor  Same shareholders : Vinci & Colas  Self financed by Cofiroute (EIB bonds)  Financed only with tolls

8 8 The Project East Tunnel 6.5 miles / 10 KM Two-level Uni-directional Light vehicles only Year to Open: 2008-2009 West Tunnel 4 miles / 7.5 KM Single level Light vehicles & trucks

9 9 A13 interchange

10 10 East tunnel West tunnel An innovative design Clearance : 8.37 feet Maximum height of vehicles : 6.56 feet

11 11  Two tunnels in one - One-way traffic  Independent Ventilation for each level  Emergency alcoves and shelters every 656 feet Focus On Safety

12 12 Emergency access every half mile

13 13 Ventilation unit Supply of fresh air

14 14 Ventilation unit Air extraction

15 15 An innovative approach taking into account the driver’s perception : Realization of a real size 30-meter model Use of a dynamic driving simulator Creation of a multi-domain workgroup (psychologists, architects, lighting specialists…) A social sciences research program oriented the communications policy and project architecture: multiple domains (anthropology, psychiatry, political science, linguistics, etc.), including a survey of 3000 people. Focus on Driver Experience

16 16 Focus On The Environment  Surface traffic lightened by 15%  Architecture design and above-ground facility location blends into landscape  Minimized above-ground facilities while maintaining safety  Noise reduction

17 17 1% Landscaping Commitment  Cofiroute has committed 1% of the project budget for landscaping projects  Examples: - Pedestrian footpaths - Bicycle paths - Promenade along the Seine - Horse paths - Restoration of parks and estates  Projects are located all along the route of the tunnels

18 18 Traffic Management  Entrance control  One-way traffic  Automatic Incident Detection  Variable message signs  Customer Assistance Patrol  FM radio override

19 19 Traffic and Revenues  Value Pricing Policy : - Means of keeping the tunnels congestion-free - Supports financing of construction and operations  Traffic 2010 : 70 000 veh / day  Toll : - 5 € during peak hours - 3.5 € during normal hours - 2 € during the night - Subscriptions according to the number of trips per month  15% reduction in surface traffic expected
