An urban expressway used to emerge out of this portal. As in other locations, this tram project has led to reclaim room previously pre-empted by wildcat road traffic...

Tram set running on Avenue Henri Frenay, seen from the upper floor of Montpelliers railway station, looking towards Odysseum (Tram) and Nimes (Railway).

This newly-built avenue was later adapted to accommodate Tram Line A. Actually, this line consists of pre-existing dedicated bus lanes for some 70%...
