The department of Savoie is heavily involved in the Lyon-Turin European rail link project, focusing not only on the successful completion of the infrastructure work but also on ensuring related economic benefits for the affected territories. Given the scale of the work, the impact of this major transport infrastructure project requires specific policies to be developed with regards to the local economy, social development and environmental impacts.

The General Council of Savoie sees important benefits in the Poly 5 project, which provides an invaluable opportunity to work specifically on reducing the risks to the affected areas and on maximizing the potential opportunities of the Lyon-Turin rail link for those areas.
The General Council of Savoie also welcomes the occasion provided by the Poly 5 project to share the “Grand Chantier” planning and management methodology for major infrastructure, developed by the French government, the Rhone Alps region and the departments of Savoie and Isère.
