Using the tunnel constructed during phase 1 of the M12 extension project, two new stations will be created, bringing the centre of Aubervilliers to within 6 minutes of Paris-Porte de la Chapelle. Phase 2 of the extension also covers the construction of two technical structures (ventilation and emergency access), and the adaptation of an additional access point at Porte de la Chapelle, to improve accessibility for persons with reduced mobility. The M12 extension will also connect with the Front Populaire station, once the T8 extension towards Paris is completed.
