Background
Le Pâquier-Montbarry station, in the Gruyère district, is on the Palézieux-Bulle-Montbovon line of Fribourg Public Transport (TPF). It no longer fully meets current safety and accessibility requirements. A temporary platform was installed there in 2023. The track is reaching the end of its life cycle.
The key points
TPF is putting the station redevelopment out for public consultation, it announced on Friday 13 November 2026. More than 7.7 million francs will be invested to modernise it and renew its rail infrastructure.
The project includes a 120-metre platform instead of 103 metres, a new canopy and three accesses compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act (LHand). The overhead line, safety installations, low-voltage line and drainage will also be renewed. Traffic interruptions will be necessary.
Key figures
- 7.7 million francs : planned investment
- 120 metres : length of the future platform, compared with 103 metres today
- 3 : new accessible entrances
What it means for businesses
- Gruyère commuters : an accessible and safe station on the Palézieux-Bulle-Montbovon line
- Civil engineering firms : a rail project planned for 2029
What's next
- Works due to start in early 2029, subject to procedures
- Commissioning at the end of 2029
