The Toulouse Administrative Court has postponed its decision on the legality of environmental authorizations for the highway project connecting Toulouse to Castres. Following a recent audience, the court announced a new hearing in the coming months to further examine the arguments presented. Public rapporteur Mona Rousseau advocated for nullifying the project’s authorizations, citing insufficient public interest. Opponents argue the project threatens ecosystems, while supporters emphasize regional economic benefits. The project, initiated in 2023, is expected to conclude by late 2025 or early 2026.
