The roughly 196 km new line (part of the Grand Projet ferroviaire du Sud-Ouest, GPSO) is planned to connect Bordeaux via Mont-de-Marsan and Dax to the Spanish border near Hendaye, designed for high-speed trains up to 320 km/h as well as freight traffic. The Bordeaux–Dax section (Phase 1) has been under construction since 2024, after France's Conseil d'État dismissed a legal challenge to the 2016 public-utility declaration in March 2026; opening is targeted for 2032/2034. The Dax–Spanish border section (Phase 2) has not yet started construction.
