Toulouse: Gathering And Hearings At The Administrative Court Against The Planned A69 Highway

People from XR display placards against the A69 highway. People gather in Toulouse, France, on November 25, 2024, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) oppose the planned A69 highway in an 'administrative' trial against the French State, along with the builder NGE and its concessionary Atosca. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), argues that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents, want the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions on the content are made. Opponents of this project claim that the reprofiling of the N126 will suffice for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed. (Photo by
