Background
The Neirivue stop, in the Gruyère district, is on a line operated by Fribourg Public Transport (TPF). Its railway infrastructure has been in service for more than fifty years. The area around the station is crossed by the cantonal road, used by 9,000 vehicles a day. On the same day, TPF also presented the redevelopment of the neighbouring Le Pâquier-Montbarry station.
The key points
On Friday 13 November 2026, TPF announced the complete redevelopment of the Neirivue stop and its surroundings. The project is estimated at nearly 19 million francs. It will start in 2028 at the earliest and last more than two years.
The platform will be rebuilt 300 metres from the current facilities, closer to the village centre. The route taken by pupils of the Haut-Intyamon school district will be safer. The new 120-metre platform, partly covered, will comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (LHand).
Two level crossings will be removed in favour of a road underpass. The track, the overhead line and two railway bridges will be renewed over more than one kilometre. The curves at the exit of Neirivue will be smoothed.
