VINCI AUTOROUTES
VINCI Autoroutes designs, finances, builds and operates motorways in France. Its network of 4,443 km run by ASF, Cofiroute, Escota, Arcour and Arcos, makes VINCI Autoroutes France’s leading motorway concession holder, with nearly 50% of its network under concessions. Its 5,200 employees ensure network maintenance, user safety and the continuity of a public motorway service in all circumstances. VINCI Autoroutes is taking action to transform motorways – which are vital to providing access to the regions they serve and supporting the local economy and communities – into low-carbon, resilient infrastructure, in line with public policies on decarbonisation and climate change adaptation.
L’élargissement à 2 x 3 voies de l’A57 à Toulon fluidifie et améliore considérablement la sécurité des déplacements dans la métropole.
In 2025, traffic grew across the VINCI Autoroutes network, which is used by some 2.6 million customers on average each day. The company continued to roll out its major programme to upgrade its infrastructure and guarantee the smoothest possible operations. VINCI Autoroutes’ innovation policy encourages decarbonised motorway mobility, as illustrated by the expansion of long-distance electric mobility.
ECONOMIC DATA
In 2025, traffic for all types of vehicles on the VINCI Autoroutes network grew 0.9% on 2024. This stability confirms the central role played by road transport, both for local residents going about their day-to-day lives as well as regional, national and international trade. In 2025, VINCI Autoroutes generated revenue of €6.7 billion, up 2.3% on the previous year. Investment totalled nearly €600 million, focused primarily on building interchanges, upgrading and improving networks, and maintaining road surfaces and structures. At 31 December 2025, the net financial debt of VINCI Autoroutes companies amounted to €15.0 billion.
Nearly €600m was invested in 2025 to build interchanges and to upgrade and maintain the networks.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Construction and the environmental footprint of projects
VINCI Autoroutes is a leading public works programme manager in France, conducting major projects and maintenance campaigns on motorway assets. In 2025, it continued to deploy major construction programmes, completing a total of close to 700 operations.
- One of the most significant projects involved widening a 7 km section of the A57 crossing greater Toulon in south-east France, which was inaugurated in June 2025. VINCI Autoroutes built a third lane on either side of the motorway and redesigned the various interchanges, while integrating the most up-to-date standards to minimise water use. This work, which was financed wholly by VINCI Autoroutes as part of the Escota concession, was carried out around exceptionally dense traffic. It completely transformed a stretch of motorway used each day by 110,000 vehicles, reducing congestion and making travel safer. The project also involved creating a lane on the hard shoulder reserved for buses, coaches and emergency vehicles, as well as safe bus stops connected to a multimodal transport hub, in line with the local future public transport plan. Motorway bus stops in an urban environment are a first in France and for the network under concession. Such enhancements encourage greater use of public and multimodal transport, while demonstrating how motorways can meet mobility needs in an environmentally friendly manner.
- As part of the amendment to the ASF concession contract, VINCI Autoroutes started preparatory work on the western Montpellier bypass (southern France). This redesigned two-lane dual carriageway will span 6.5 km to link the A709 and A750 motorways, creating a suitable route for intercity and peri-urban traffic, integrating bus rapid transit lines while freeing up secondary roads for local communities. The work will also involve building five interchanges and a motorway viaduct. On 30 October 2025, the prefect of the Hérault department granted the environmental permit for the project, making it possible to start work in 2026, build the network diversions and carry out preventive archaeological operations.
- In September 2025, VINCI Autoroutes began the urban and environmental upgrade work on the A7 crossing Valence (south-east France). The project seeks to better integrate the infrastructure in the urban landscape, reduce disruption for local residents, reconnect the neighbourhoods around the Rhône and improve both quality of life and travel around the region. It involves installing 5.1 km of noise barriers made from wood or concrete and wood, and, in certain areas, integrating vegetation. At the same time, work is being carried out on three motorway crossings to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and improve the look of the area by installing screens that hide the motorway from view. A quay on the Rhône will be upgraded, enhancing the river’s appeal.
- In June 2025, VINCI Autoroutes commissioned the new A7/A54 junction in Salon-de-Provence (southern France), an essential connection in the motorway route linking Spain to Italy through Montpellier, Arles and Marseille in France’s Sud and Occitanie regions. Used by more than 40,000 vehicles each day, this section has been completely redesigned to reduce congestion and enhance safety. Major redevelopment work was carried out to widen the Arles-Marseille junction, remodel the slip road, and rebuild the RD68 bridge crossing the motorway, adding a pavement for pedestrians and a cycle lane.
- On the A8, a new entry slip road at Menton (south-east France), extended from 90 metres to now over 300 metres long, was inaugurated in January 2025, making it easier and safer to access the motorway.
- On the A28, final road widening works between Parigné-l’Évèque and Ecommoy (western France) were completed, and the stretch reopened on 17 December 2025.
