ordered in July 2021. Production began in late 2020, with testing in summer 2021. Future A six-station, extension eastbound from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny-sous-Bois is under construction to ensure better commuter service to the Northeastern inner suburbs. The scheme was first proposed by the local government authorities, and adopted during the 2007 review of the Ile-de-France Transportation Plan. Preliminary work on this extension to Rosny – Bois-Perrier started in 2015. It is expected to open by 2023. The extension will provide new connections with the RER E and the extended tramway line 1, which will be linked more easily to the downtown and the commuter hub of Châtelet les Halles. Revisions in the Grand Paris Express Plan and possible automation A revised plan for the proposed Grand Paris Express metro system was unveiled on 6 March 2013. The revisions call for a second extension of Line 11 towards Noisy-Champs by 2030, although it is unclear if this goal will be attainable. Should the second extension commence, it is slated to come with a full automation of Line 11. Automation is currently not planned for the Rosny extension, though the RATP and STIF had considered the possibility of automating the line later on. Route Tourism Metro line 11 passes near several places of interest : The Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) of Paris. The Centre Georges Pompidou accommodating the Paris Museum of Modern Art. The Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (engineering school). The popular quarter of Belleville, hosting one of Paris' "Chinatowns" and centres of other Asian cultures.
