Summary
Machine-generated summaryThis tender covers lighting renovation works in tunnels on the A8 and A51 motorways in France.

The works are divided into three lots: one covering about 9 structures with 16 treated tubes per direction of traffic, roughly 2,133 luminaires; a second covering about 8 structures with 16 tubes per direction, roughly 2,073 luminaires; and a third covering the La Baume tunnel alone, with 2 tubes per direction and about 397 luminaires. Night works are carried out under temporary traffic signing, with an additional daytime option for La Baume, all while tunnels remain in operation.
