Commissioning of the Salon Nord half-interchange on the A7 motorway in France
The Salon Nord half-interchange, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in France, is now open to traffic. This new infrastructure complements the existing interchange by providing southbound access towards Marseille. Delivered by VINCI Autoroutes in partnership with local authorities, it improves connectivity for the Pays Salonais area, helps ease traffic flows and reduces through traffic in the town centre of Salon-de-Provence.
Jacques Witkowski, Prefect of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and Prefect of the Bouches-du-Rhône department, Julie Arias, Departmental Councillor representing Martine Vassal, President of the Bouches-du-Rhône Departmental Council, Nicolas Isnard, President of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolitan Authority and Mayor of Salon-de-Provence, and Sabine Granger, CEO of VINCI Autoroutes, inaugurated the new Salon Nord interchange facilities, which are now open to traffic.
Designed to improve connectivity for the Pays Salonais area, the new infrastructure provides easier access to the A7 motorway, helps ease traffic flows and contributes to reducing through traffic in the centre of Salon-de-Provence.
Co-financed by the Bouches-du-Rhône Departmental Council, the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolitan Authority, the City of Salon-de-Provence and VINCI Autoroutes under the Motorway Investment Plan signed with the French State in 2018, the project strengthens the area's accessibility, improves travel conditions for users and provides a concrete response to the mobility challenges facing the Pays Salonais.
