Pont de Sèvres station (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ d(ə) sɛvʁ]) is a station of the Paris Metro on Line 9, serving as its western terminus. It is located near the Pont de Sèvres, which is a bridge on the Seine connecting to Sèvres. By autumn 2027, it will also become the terminus of Line 15's southern section.[3]
History
The station opened on 3 February 1934 with the extension from Porte de Saint-Cloud station. It was the first extension of the Metro network beyond the limits of Paris. Hence, it is one of the first three stations to provide service to the inner suburbs of Paris (along with Billancourt and Marcel Sembat).
In 1943, during an Allied air raid aimed at destroying the Renault factories at Boulogne-Billancourt (on Seguin Island), the bombs missed their targets and caused 300 deaths, including 80 around the station, partially destroying it.[4][5]
In 2017, construction started on Line 15's station as part of the Grand Paris Express project. Line 15 will first begin service in autumn 2027 when Line 15 South opens, with the rest of the line opening in 2031.[3][6][7][8] The underground station will be located on the bank of the Seine.[9]
In 2019, the station was used by 5,048,247 passengers, making it the 79th busiest of the Metro network out of 302 stations.[10]
In 2020, the station was used by 2,651,763 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 69th busiest of the Metro network out of 305 stations.[11]
In 2021, the station was used by 3,430,203 passengers, making it the 83rd busiest of the Metro network out of 305 stations.[12]
