Refurbishment of the Grand-Saconnex motorway junction, Geneva
The JAG project (Grand-Saconnex motorway junction) has been developed since 2004 under the direction of the Canton of Geneva in parallel with the Route des Nations project, a cantonal tunnel project between JAG and the International Organizations district. The AP and DP phases demonstrated the value of refurbishing this junction subject to significant traffic fluctuations leading to the saturation of the related cantonal axes. The new road geometry is able to absorb traffic loads, at least until 2040, the planning horizon for motorway projects. The RE and EXE phases are underway, with the imposing constraint of maintaining all traffic flows, with nearly 300 planned motorway interventions including 9 major traffic changes
