The lawyer for opponents, Alice Terrasse, speaks to the press after hearings at the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse in Toulouse, France, on May 21, 2025. Lawyer Julie Rover is on the right. The court hears an appeal filed by NGE/Atosca against the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse to suspend all works on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca requests the court to allow the works to continue during the appeal process. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the construction of the A69, aiming to bypass the court's decision. Atosca claims that all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structures do not match the numbers provided by Atosca. Additionally, several issues, such as water evacuation and species protection, affect the project. The main association, 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free'), and other opponents want the construction of the highway to stop until all judicial decisions are made. Expropriations for farmers are not resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 is sufficient for the planned 6,000 vehicles per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.
