This renovation project extends over a distance of 20 km, connecting the Vendargues and Saint-Jean-de-Védas interchanges. To reduce the impact on users, the work takes place only at night, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.. This strategy aims to guarantee smooth traffic flow during the day and thus avoid congestion during rush hours.

A significant investment to improve security

The financing, totaling 11 million euros, is supported by Vinci Autoroutes. This budget will make it possible to carry out a complete renovation of the roadway on a particularly busy route on the outskirts of Montpellier. In addition to the renewal of the road itself, additional work will be carried out to strengthen safety and improve driver comfort. Users will be able to benefit from a renovated track by the end of the work, scheduled for the end of November.
