A31 autoroute

The A31 autoroute is a French autoroute. It runs from the Franco-Luxembourg border to Beaune where it joins the A6. The north of the autoroute is free, up to the town of Toul, but it is a toll road south of there. The autoroute serves the cities of Metz, Nancy and Dijon and it is heavily used in the holiday season as it is a convenient route for those travelling from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany to get to the south of France. It is also known as the "Autoroute de Lorraine-Bourgogne".

Future

There is a proposal to create a new autoroute, the A32, to relieve the congestion on the A31 but the scheme is currently not progressing due to vigorous opposition.

Trivia

The second album by Braindrop, released in 2007, is named after this road and the album cover was shot there. [http://www.freewebs.com/braindropmusic/a31albumdetails.htm]
