Overview
- Atosca published the A69 tariff on October 8, setting a charge of €8.50 for the 53 km stretch and a €20.40 round trip when combined with connecting tolls.
- Opponents re‑mobilized on October 9 with tree occupations and camps near the route to protest the price and the project, while local groups called for a boycott.
- The Conseil d'État issued an unfavorable opinion that prevents a contract amendment that would have cut tolls by about 33% on some deviation segments.
- The Préfecture du Tarn has banned gatherings near the motorway across the 17 communes it crosses and deployed a large police presence to manage public‑order risks.
- Atosca has offered mitigation measures for frequent users and very low‑emission vehicles and said the road could open in the first week of November, but final state audits and reception procedures must still be completed.
