Will there be any long-term environmental impact?
Will there be any long-term environmental impact? Road traffic will not be affected. When the work is complete, the footpath in Meyrin linking the Maisonnex sports complex to the Chemin de la Berne will be reopened, with the route modified to pass around the new buildings. The footpath in Cessy will remain unchanged. Both sites

How did the work affect the environment?
How did the work affect the environment? The contracts concluded with the two civil engineering consortia imposed environmental restrictions and, notably, the hiring of experts to perform environmental monitoring on the worksite. The noise generated by the work was limited to respect French and Swiss regulations. An acoustic system monitored noise levels at various times.

How will the work affect traffic?
How will the work affect traffic? During the excavation period, lorries will transport the spoil to treatment or storage centres. A maximum of 10 lorries will come and go on the Meyrin site each day, and 10 to 15 on the Cessy site. Spoil will be transported only during working days (Monday to Friday) and,

What will happen to the excavated spoil?
What will happen to the excavated spoil? In total, 92,000m3 of spoil were excavated from the underground structures on both sites. The excavated material was analysed on the surface to check its quality and the spoil polluted by hydrocarbon was managed accordingly. On the Meyrin site, much of the excavated material will be reused to
