Work on TGV Rhine-Rhone High-Speed Line has started
In addition to the TGV East High-Speed line that is being completed right now and that will go in service in June of 2007, two other high-speed rail projects are currently under way in France and a couple of links for more information:
- The TGV Rhine-Rhone line, eastern branch (connection from east of Dijon towards Belfort/Mulhouse)
Official Website of "LGV Rhin-Rhone" (French/English)
Blog about TGV Rhin-Rhone construction (French) - The new Transpyreneen link from Perpignan to Figueras in Spain (linking the French and Spanish high-speed systems).
This line is built by the private TP Ferro group, so there is no official RFF website. TP Ferro does not seem to have a website. Here is the Wikipedia entry. The french version has a bit more information.
Regarding the former one, here is a PDF showing current areas of construction as of December 2006. Work had started back in July of 2006 and the line is scheduled to be opened at the end of 2011.
