A69'opponents Give A Press Conference After Hearings At The Adminiistrative Court Of Appeal Of Toulouse

Gilles Garric, opponent from LVEL speaks to the press after hearings at the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Toulouse' (ie 'Adminiistrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse') after the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres, NGE/Atosca filed an appeal against this decision and asked the Court to let the works continue during the time the appeal will be judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department put on vote a retroactiv law to authorize the building of the A69. They say they want to bypass the decision of the Admin istrative Court of Toulouse.Atosca says all levelling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the levelling works and highway structure aren't close to the numbers given by Atosca. More, several problems plagued the work suh as water evacuation, protection of species, etc. The main assocation 'La Voie est Libre' (ie 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content to be given. All expropiations for farmers aren't cleared. Opponents at this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be suffisant for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 millions (in 2018 euros without the inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400ha of agricultural fields will be destroyed. Toulouse.
