La Dhuys station

La Dhuys station is a station on Line 11 of the Paris Métro. It is situated in the communes of Montreuil and Rosny-sous-Bois.

History
The station opened on 13 June 2024 as part of the extension of the line from Serge Gainsbourg to Rosny–Bois-Perrier.

The station was initially given the provisional name of La Boissière. It was then renamed La Dhuys, after the nearby rue de la Dhuys, itself named after La Dhuis, a river in Aisne, France. The river has since been channeled into the Dhuis aqueduct since 1 October 1865 to supply water to Paris.

The RATP under its subsidiary Logis Transports, together with architects Richez Associés, will build a new social housing project over the station, with one of its accesses integrated into the building structure.

Construction
The station was designed by architects Richez Associés, who also designed 3 other stations on the extension. It was designed to have elements similar to the original design of the métro stations, such as bevelled white tiling, a platform vault, and a side platform layout.

Originally meant to be built in the open, work was carried out underground instead from a circular access shaft after public inquiries were carried out in order to preserve the neighbouring residential complexes, with civil work beginning in November 2016. Excavation of the station's cavern started in April 2018, providing the space required for the assembly of the tunnel boring machine, Sofia, which started in July 2019.

In 2021, excavation and civil works, apart from that of access 3, were completed. Tunnel works were also completed with the arrival of the tunnel boring machine at Serge Gainsbourg, with the dismantling of the cement plants and removal of cranes from the site occurring soon after.

Access
The station has three accesses:


 * Access 1: rue Lucien Piron
 * Access 2: rue de la Dhuys
 * Access 3: Boulevard de la Boissière

Platforms
The station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms.

Other connections
The station is also served by lines 102, 124, 202, and 301 of the RATP bus network, and by line 1 of the Titus bus network.
