Lawyer for the opponents, Julie Rover, speaks to the press after hearings at the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse following the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse 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, stating they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca claims 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' (The Way is Free), and opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all judicial decisions on the content are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway costs EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed. 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.
