Eiffage: inaugurates new A79 motorway
(CercleFinance.com) - Eiffage has announced the inauguration of the new A79 motorway, an 88-kilometre stretch between Sazeret (Allier) and Digoin (Saône-et-Loire) links the A71 and A6 motorways.
This project was decided by the State in 2017 to rapidly improve the safety of the highly accident-prone RN79. In March 2020, it was entrusted to the Eiffage group, which provided the financing for an investment of over 600 million euros.
Completed in two years without interrupting traffic, the project involved widening and upgrading the RN79 to motorway standard.
The route now has 12 interchanges, three rest areas and one service area, and is lined with nearly 150 engineering structures, Eiffage says.
