The motorway network is evolving to provide safer, faster and smoother journeys. Ambitious public-interest projects are being launched across the country to improve mobility. Wondering what the major motorway projects currently underway in France are? Here’s an overview of the key routes undergoing transformation.

Why Are These Motorway Projects Essential for Road Users?

The current motorway projects aim to improve traffic flow, reduce journey times, and enhance road safety. 
They address both local and national needs while respecting environmental planning. 
Today, major road projects are carried out either by public authorities or through public-private partnerships (PPP).

The benefits for users include:

- Reduced congestion: the new routes help ease pressure on existing roads.

- Improved safety: thanks to modern infrastructure, including easier toll access, video surveillance and high-performance safety barriers.

- Time savings: journeys are quicker, especially for interregional connections.

- Integration of sustainable mobility: some projects include facilities for electric vehicles, with charging points installed at service areas accessible using charging cards.

These road projects, mostly initiated in recent years, reflect the ongoing transformation of the national motorway network. 
Their public value is based on clear objectives: easing congestion, improving road safety, and providing better access to all regions.

What Are the Main Motorway Projects Currently Underway in France?

Several motorway projects are being developed or built across France. 
Here’s a look at the main sites:

- A69 Toulouse – Castres: this motorway project aims to link Toulouse and Castres, improving access to the area. Completion is currently pending judicial decisions.

- Rouen Eastern Bypass (A28/A13 link): this bypass is designed to ease traffic around Rouen. The project is in the preparation phase, with opening scheduled for 2031.

- A154 Dreux – Chartres: this project will convert the RN154 national road into a motorway. It is currently in the public consultation phase.

- A412 Machilly – Thonon-les-Bains: located in Haute-Savoie, this section aims to improve access to the Chablais region.

- A31 bis Richemont – Thionville – Luxembourg: this project will strengthen the link between France and Luxembourg. It is currently in the preliminary study phase.

- Arles Bypass: this bypass aims to reduce traffic in the city of Arles. The project is currently being discussed with local stakeholders.

Alongside these regional initiatives, numerous motorway widening projects are underway nationwide. Their goal is to optimise existing routes and improve driving conditions for all users. 
These projects are part of broader transport development and regional planning policies, with particular attention paid to the environment and natural spaces during technical studies.
