The rest of Line 14 opened before the station on 24 June 2024.[1] For the first few months of operation, Villejuif–Gustave Roussy will serve as an emergency exit, but trains will pass through without serving the station. The Line 14 platform is expected to open for service early 2025 and the Line 15 platform is expected to be put into service with the rest of the line in late 2025.[2]
