[edit] Route

The road used to begin at a junction with the N1 in the centre of Amiens at the Esplanade E Branly. The road followed Rue du Marechat De Laffre De Tassigny to the north. The new road now starts at a junction with the A29 autoroute and forms the north east section of the town's by-pass. The routes re-converge at junction 38 with the N25 heading north and the by-pass becoming the N1.

The road passes Villers-Bocage passing though open countryside. After Beauval the road drops into the Authié valley and the town of Doullens. The road turns east thereafter and passes several British War Cemeteries. The road passes Beaumetz-les-Loges before reaching the outskirts of Arras.

The new road becomes the towns north west by-pass ending at a junction with the N17. The old road is now numbered the RD265 and the Rte de Doullens into the town centre.
