Definition: piece, section
The word tronçon is used to talk about a piece or section of something, usually something long, for instance, a road. A perfect example of this came up in the news this week as the first section of the Grands Boulevards transitioned into a two-way street.
Le premier tronçon est passé en double sens ce lundi matin et la totalité des Grands boulevards (du bd de Sébastopol à la rue de Richelieu) sera à double sens fin 2012.
-The first section became two-way this Monday morning and all the the Grands Boulevards (from Boulevard de Sébastopol to rue de Richelieu) will be two-way at the end of 2012.
