From the way it's worded it rather sounds like they'll be doing it forcibly. Should be worth seeing.

You've got to admit that our system of painting a red C in the midddle of the road and charging people lots of money every time they drive over it is both cheaper, and quicker to install.

After the massive underground work in London with Cross Rail and the like I bet much of the knowledge gained will be shared with the French contractors.
The French are a bit late off the mark with this undertaking.
