A9 autoroute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A9 autoroute (La Languedocienne/La Catalans) is a highway in southern France. The road forms part of the European route E15. The road runs between Orange and Perthus, in the Pyrénées-Orientales at the frontier with ‘’Spain’’ where it becomes the Autopista AP-7.
The route passes the following major towns and cities Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), Narbonne (Aude), Béziers and Montpellier (Hérault), Nîmes (Gard) and Orange (Vaucluse) before joining the A7 autoroute (Marseille to Lyon). The route is 3x3.
The A9 autoroute is operated by the Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF). The cost of travelling the whole road through the Languedoc-Roussillon region in a car is 19,20 euros (23 November 2005).
[edit] Future
For 19km around Montpellier the road is toll free as the road is the City’s by-pass. The resultant toll booths either side of the town cause considerable congestion in the summer. As a result ASF have proposed to create a new road which is expected to open in 2013.
