The Porte de Gesvres intersection at the junction between the A11 and the Nantes ring road is being reconfigured as part of the motorway investment plan.
of network upgrades – mostly new or reconfigured interchanges and carpool car parks. These upgrades, which are jointly financed by the local authorities concerned, aim to enhance accessibility for periphery communities and improve mobility within the regions. Examples include the commissioning of the new Huisne Sarthoise interchange (A11), and the start of construction work on the future Agen west interchange (A62) in south-west France, on the Saran-Gidy interchange (A10) north of Orléans, and on the major Porte de Gesvres intersection at the junction between the A11 and the Nantes ring road in north-west France. The motorway stimulus plan and motorway investment plan represent contractual investments of €2.4 billion.
● SIX HUNDRED OPERATIONS UNDER STUDY OR CONSTRUCTION
In 2021, some 600 roadworks operations, including surface and infrastructure renovations, were either at the preliminary study phase or under way on the VINCI Autoroutes network. In all, 5 million hours of roadworks were carried out on the network in 2021. VINCI Autoroutes continued to roll out its Full BIM programme, which will optimise management of its motorway assets through better coordination of infrastructure design-construction, renovation, maintenance and management operations. Several phases of this major digital transformation project have already been completed by the concession companies. Their digital motorway asset maintenance and shared data access tools have been standardised and enhanced with the introduction of a geographic information system that is a “digital twin” of the entire network.
