Redevelopment work on David Bowie Street in Paris will commence on October 5, 2026, with the initial phase focusing on the road and sidewalks.

The company RAZEL BEC will carry out the redevelopment of David Bowie Street and the Pont de la Salpêtrière, starting on October 5, 2026. The first phase will concentrate on the construction of the roadway and sidewalks. This project emphasizes landscape and soft mobility, incorporating green spaces, landscaped swales, and planters for open-air rainwater management. Permeable surfaces with a draining structure will promote water infiltration along the cycle path and parking areas.
The roadway will feature a one-way traffic lane connecting Avenue Pierre Mendès – France to Boulevard de l’Hôpital, along with a bidirectional cycle path. An initial public opening is scheduled for May 2027.
The second phase of the work will focus on creating a viewpoint at the foot of the Fondation de Myologie. This area will be landscaped and equipped with seating furniture for visitors to enjoy the scenery. The entire project is expected to be completed by mid-2028.
