Contributing to regional development, transport times Since its creation, ASF has constantly pursued its construction drive, and its teams are at the forefront of progress in this area. At each and every stage, they master: quality, costs and respect of the announced deadlines. In 2002, 136 km of motorway were brought into service, corresponding to an investment of 540 million euros (before tax). A87: the motorway that directly links Vendée to Paris taking over from the A11 ■ 55 km is the length of the new section brought into service on January 22, 2002 between Angers and Chôlet-Sud. Motorists now take 35 minutes (instead of 90 minutes by the RN160) to cover the 68 km separating the city centre of Angers from the south of Cholet, the second largest pool of employment in Pays de la Loire. Constructed in a little over five years and representing an investment of close to 350 million euros, this section opens up new economic prospects for the towns of the region. No less than 5 interchanges now serve the Maine-et-Loire. ■ Before the great holiday departures of the summer of 2003, the 38 km of the Cholet-Sud/Les Essarts section, which completes the motorway between Paris and the Atlantic via Le Mans, will be brought into service. This section will also make the junction with the A11 (Le Mans-Angers) and the A83 (Nantes/Niort) which joins the A10 towards Bordeaux. Work to widen the motorway has been carried out near the A87/A83 motorway intersection. ■ Work is in progress on the last section up to La Roche-sur-Yon (18 km). This will be completed in the spring of 2005. ■ To the north of Angers, by decree of March 1, 2002 ASF was awarded the concession for the section between Sorges and Murs-Erigné (8 km) of the current RN 260 to become 2x2 lanes. The summary preliminary project surveys for 2x3 lanes and upgrading to motorway standards are in progress. The declaration of public interest is expected in the course of 2005. A89: Bordeaux draws closer to Clermont-Ferrand: almost half the great west-east cross country motorway is in service A89 EAST ■ The 43 km of the new Tulle- Est/Ussel-Ouest section, brought into service on February 22, 2002, add to the 40 km linking Ussel to Sancy and bring Brive-la-Gaillarde and Clermont-Ferrand closer together. Thanks to this new section, Tulle is now just 30 minutes from Ussel. The ending of the isolation of Corrèze is accelerating: located at the intersection of the A20 and A89 motorways, this Département will become a European crossroads and will gain full advantage from
Extension of the Network facilitating relations and reducing the economic and tourist exchanges. The opening of the Corrèze theme space at the rest area of the same name is scheduled for spring 2003. ■ To overcome the technical difficulties encountered at Saulières, the A89 has been linked up to the A20 to the north of Brive, thanks to a 5 km stretch between the A20 at St-Pardoux-l’Ortigier and Saint- Germain-les-Vergnes. This stretch, created by the Corrèze Département with ASF financing, will be opened on February 21, 2003 at the same time as the 21 km Tulle-Est/Saint-Germain-les- Vergnes section. ■ Out of the remaining 52 km, to reach Clermont-Ferrand, between St-Julien Sancy and Combronde, ASF obtained agreement in 2002 to take early possession in all the communes and the necessary administrative authorisations to start the work. The preliminary ground clearance work and the construction of the Sioule viaduct have started. It should still be brought into service at end 2005-beginning 2006. A89 WEST ■ Work continues on the 35 km which will link Mussidan to Périgueux. It should be brought into service beginning 2005. All the expertise of the ASF teams is necessary for this section which crosses a particularly complex zone geotechnically speaking: crossing overhanging two chalk cliffs, passage over underground quarries. In parallel, the upgrading to motorway standards of the RN89 continues perpendicular to the Périgueux by-pass. ■ The 32 km of the Périgueux- Est/Thenon section will be completed beginning 2004. The ground clearance work and the laying of the subgrade surface were completed in June 2002. The laying of the road surfaces and the construction of the full lane barrier of Thenon started in July 2002. The southern apron of the viaduct over the Douime (290 m long) has been completed: the delivery of the structure is scheduled for May 2003. Environment assessment of the Angers/Cholet - A87 To take into account the diversity of the sites encountered, ASF has carried out a highly refined landscape study. Results: architectural projects with a powerful identity; two remarkable civil engineering works, with a turquoise framework and dark green ledges (Layon and Hyrôme viaducts), many specific arrangements to protect the water, wildlife and plant life, the planting of 245,000 plants. The route was optimized to limit nuisance to those alongside the motorway: however, acoustic protections have been erected, including 4,300 m of noise protection earth barricades and a screen some forty metres in length near Angers. 28-29
