CDG Express is a high-speed railway line currently under construction. It will connect Gare de l'Est in Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport, aiming to alleviate congestion on the existing RER B line. Originally planned for 2006, the opening was pushed back several times, most recently to early 2027. Upon completion, passengers can expect to travel between the airport and Gare de l'Est in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 32 kilometres (20 mi).
