A32 autoroute
The A32 autoroute is a proposed road project to improve the A31 autoroute between the frontier with Luxembourg and the town of Toul in north eastern France.
Public Debate
This project has become victim of the new public opinion to road building in Europe. The road is proposed to relieve congestion on the A31 between the border and Nancy. This is one of the busiest on the French motorway network with (more than 100.000 vehicles/days between Thionville and Metz).
The upgrade has been planned since 1990, however while the existing road is toll free the A32 will be a toll motorway. The plans involve considerable impact on the environment including large cuttings through the Moselle valley. The majority of the land has been bought or reserved. If built the road will not be completed until 2010-2015.
