Colas wins two contracts for the construction of Line B on the Angers Tramway

Three Colas subsidiaries won two contracts for the construction of the second
tramway line in Angers along with ancillary road works, for a total of EUR63
million. The new 10.1-km long line will run between the neighborhoods of
Belle-Beille, to the west of the city area, and Monplaisir, to the northeast,
via the city center, crossing the Maine river on a new bridge.

Colas Rail, Colas' railway company, was awarded the contract for the
construction of the entire rail network. This includes building the tramway
platforms, laying track, installing power systems as well as the extension of
the current train storage unit. 80% of the line will be planted using a system
developed by Colas Rail to reduce the use of concrete and watering
requirements. The total contract value amounts to EUR42 million and work will
begin at the end of 2018 for delivery mid-2021.

In addition, as part of a consortium with the road company TPPL, Colas Projects
(project manager), a Colas subsidiary specialized in major projects, and Colas
Centre-Ouest, a regional Colas road subsidiary, secured one of the three urban
road improvement projects related to the second tramway line. The West Sector
contract involves the completion of development work on both sides of the
tramway as well as quality paving along the right-of-way of the tracks, for a
total of EUR20.7 million. Work will begin in May 2020 for delivery scheduled
for June 2022.

Colas Rail and Colas Centre-Ouest had both previously participated in the
construction of the first tramway line in Angers.
