On the way to a 3rd lane

31 July 2011 - New contracts - France

On 13 May, in the presence of Pierre Coppey, chairman of VINCI Autoroutes, ASF (VINCI Autoroutes) formally launched the first phase of the works to widen the A9 motorway between Perpignan and the Spanish border (40 km). This phase concerns a 17 km-long stretch (includ­ing 27 engineering structures), between Perpignan Nord and Perpignan Sud – a stretch used by 35,000 vehicles a day. The project represents an investment of €220m, entirely financed by ASF. This section is due to open to traffic in June 2013.
