The termination of the A 69 site since the decision of the Toulouse administrative court to cancel the authorizations at a cost. It would be estimated at 180,000 euros per day.
If the A 69 site has been abandoned for more than two months, it continues to cost money. And we start to have an idea of the invoice. And she is salty.
“A scandalous situation”. On his Facebook page, via 81 does not hide his anger after discovering the cost of stopping the site of this highway between Castres and Toulouse. Nearly € 200,000 per day according to this association which brings together socio-economic actors who have been campaigning for years for the opening up of southern Tarn.
This figure would have been mentioned during an exchange with Franck Dhersin the Senator in charge of hearing all the actors concerned by this highway between Castres and Toulouse. This rapporteur is indeed preparing the examination before the Senate on May 15 of the bill aimed at retroactively validating the environmental authorizations of the A69 filed by the centrist senators of Tarn, Philippe Folliot and Marie-Lise Housseau.

The site was stopped net on February 27 following the decision of the Toulouse administrative court to cancel the prefectural orders authorizing this site on the grounds that it did not present “major imperative”. From the outset, it is nearly 5 million euros in “demobilization” costs that the Atosca dealer had to pay according to our information. We had to dismiss workers, move hundreds of construction machines and secure all 53 kilometers of route and arts of arts already made at two thirds.

And since then, it is 180,000 euros per day that this ghost site would cost the dealer who still employs a hundred people on site to mark it, secure it and ensure its environmental management.
More than 20 million euros spent “for nothing”
In any case, it is the figures put forward by Atosca in her memory which accompanies the appeal of the State and the request for suspended on the execution of the first instance decision which will be examined on May 21 by the administrative court of appeal. The latter will have to say if the site can take up or not while waiting for the judgment to the bottom which will intervene within a year and a half. A decision that should fall in early June. Meanwhile, it has sold more than three months since the site stops. We will therefore already be more than 20 million euros spent “for nothing”.

An amount carried out for the moment by the concessionaire who will necessarily at a time request accounts from the state responsible for this forced interruption. All or part will therefore have to be paid by taxpayers. “In addition to demonstrating that this highway responds well to several imperative reasons of general interest, this is one of the reasons that pushed us to table this validation bill, explains Philippe Folliot. In three months the sum is already enormous. If we have to wait for the judgment at the bottom within 18 months, people will become crazy. Especially when we know the state of public finances”.

If the request for suspended sentence is rejected by the Administrative Court of Appeal, there will therefore be hope for the pros-autoroute to see this validation law adopted so that the A 69 site resumes. After her examination in the Senate on May 15, she should be submitted to the vote in the National Assembly in June.
Pending opponents of this highway, as the path is free, refused to be interviewed by the Senate rapporteur who has already heard around thirty elected officials and economic actors in the territory.
