Opponents express joy after the verdict of the Administrative Court of Justice in Toulouse, France, on February 27, 2025, stops all work on the planned A69 highway. A press conference takes place in Toulouse as plaintiffs, including LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, and D'Ingrando, win an administrative trial against the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The judges of the Administrative Court of Toulouse rule against the French State, the builder NGE, and its concessionary Atosca, revoking the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway, thus halting all work. In December, the judges surprise everyone by deciding to reopen the files instead of issuing a court decision on the content. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), argues that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Interest Imperative for public interest,' is invalid, as previously stated by the 'Rapporteur Public.' The 'Rapporteur Public' maintains her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, removing the ''Major Interest Imperative for Public Interest.'' The court's decision stops the construction of the A69 highway. The main association, 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free'), wants the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions on the content are made. Opponents of the project argue that reprofiling the N126 will suffice for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost significantly less. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers.
