French court allows A412 motorway construction to continue

–

Neutral summary

The Lyon administrative court of appeal on October 15 rejected a request to suspend construction of the A412 motorway in Haute-Savoie, a road that is to link Thonon-les-Bains and Machilly. The lawsuit was filed by France Nature Environnement (FNE) 74, some twenty associations, farmers and local residents, who argued the project goes against the climate emergency and would harm the environment. The court found the project to be of significant public interest and allowed work to proceed. According to Reporterre, opponents say they will continue their struggle and may take the case to the Council of State. Mediapart also reports the plaintiffs intend to appeal to the highest administrative court. Construction of the motorway, opposed by environmental activists, can now go ahead.
