A construction site for the A69 near Cuq-Toulza is under scrutiny after the Administrative Court of Toulouse suspends all work on the A69 highway project between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and requests the Court to allow the work 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 Administrative Court of Toulouse's decision. Atosca claims that all leveling work has begun and that more than 70% of the highway structures are completed. However, the actual progress of leveling work and highway structures does not match Atosca's claims. Additionally, several issues, such as water evacuation and species protection, affect the project. The main association opposing the project, 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free'), wants the construction to stop until all judicial decisions are finalized. Expropriations for farmers remain unresolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would suffice for the projected 6,000 vehicles per day and would be more cost-effective. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, with more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields at risk. This takes place in Toulouse, France, on May 15, 2025.

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.
