A1 autoroute (France)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the French motorway A1, for information about other roads of the same name, or other meanings, see A1.
The A1 Autoroute, also known as l'autoroute du Nord (the Northern Motorway), is the busiest of France's autoroutes. With a length of 211 kilometers (131 miles), it connects Paris with the northeastern city of Lille. It is managed by the SANEF.
The autoroute serves the northern suburbs of Paris, including the Stade de France, le Bourget, Paris's Roissy Charles de Gaulle International Airport, and the parc Astérix. From there it crosses Picardie, without directly passing through any of the major cities of the région. Throughout Picardie, the A1 runs parallel to the LGV Nord.
Around 120 km (75 miles) from Paris, between the towns of Amiens and Saint-Quentin and near the aire de service of Assevillers (the largest motorway plaza in Europe), the A1 crosses over the A29. A few dozen kilometers further north it forms the southern terminus of the A2, which branches off towards Brussels. The A1 is also crossed by the A26 and the A21, and it makes up part of European routes E15, E17, and E19. At its northern terminus, the A1 turns into the A25.
