The A69 construction site is near Maurens-Scopont in Tarn, France, when one looks towards Toulouse. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides to suspend all works on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the Court to allow the works to continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69, aiming to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca states 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 given by Atosca. Additionally, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), which opposes the project, wants the building of the highway to stop until all judicial decisions are made. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say 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.

The construction site of the A69 in Castres, Tarn, is not yet complete in terms of levelling works and highway structures. The Administrative Court of Toulouse has decided to suspend all works on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres. In response, NGE/Atosca has filed an appeal against this decision and requested the Court to allow the works to continue while the appeal is being judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department have proposed a retroactive law to authorize the construction of the A69, aiming to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca claims that all levelling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the actual progress of levelling works and highway structures does not match the figures provided by Atosca. Additionally, several issues, such as water evacuation and species protection, have affected the work. The main association opposing the project, 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free'), wants the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions are made. Not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Opponents of the project argue that reprofiling the N126 would suffice for the planned 6,000 vehicles per day and would be much less costly. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.

The construction site of the A69 near Saix, Tarn, is far from complete. After the Administrative Court of Toulouse decides to suspend all works on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres, NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks 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 building of the A69, aiming to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca claims that all levelling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the levelling works and highway structures do not match the numbers provided by Atosca. Additionally, several issues, such as water evacuation and species protection, affect the work. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), which opposes the project, wants the construction of the highway to stop until all judicial decisions are made. Not all expropriations for farmers are resolved. Opponents of the project argue that reprofiling the N126 will suffice 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. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.

Locals and security officials work to contain the damage on the road following the rupture of a drinking water pipeline in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 12, 2025. A part of the road at Babarmahal in Kathmandu collapses following the rupture of the Melamchi Water Supply, inundating two courts and the Forestry Complex along with other surrounding buildings. The road section collapses as water gushes out to the surface, prompting disaster response teams to rescue those stranded. With water gushing into the premises of the Kathmandu District Court and the Special Court, justices of both courts are evacuated by crossing the metal bars. Since the pipes are laid in close proximity, it takes some time for the Melamchi Drinking Water Project team to identify which pipe has burst.
