New toll tariffs as of 1st February and motorway improvement projects for 2008
- 01 fevrier 2008
Alis carried out its yearly update of motorway toll tariffs on 1st February 2008.
In compliance with the concession agreement validated by the State in 2001, the average tariff of the five classes of vehicles will increase by 5.5% as of this date.
This increase in toll tariffs - which is calculated on the basis of the rate of inflation - contributes not only to the financing of the A28 motorway awarded under concession to Alis, but equally to the continuous development of services proposed to motorway users.
Within this context, the following improvements have been scheduled for 2008:
• the extension of the Roumois toll plaza (at the junction with the A13), in order to improve the everyday flow of vehicles through the barriers,
• the continuation of studies for the construction of a new limited access junction in the proximity of the Roumois toll plaza, giving direct access to and from the A28 and the ex -RN 175,
• the extension of the HGV parking area at the Les Haras service area (situated between Orbec and Gacé).
At the same time, Alis continues the marketing of Liber-t hands free toll tag subscriptions, without any administrative costs, providing discounts to frequent users of the motorway with reduction of up to 35% in the toll tariffs.
Alis would also like to remind HGV drivers that overnight supervision at the Les Haras and Domaine d'Harcourt service areas is carried out by security staff and guard dogs, in order to provide a safe place for drivers, vehicles and goods to stop overnight.
"Le Mans 24 Hours": your return, quicker and cheaper!
- 17 janvier 2007
The next edition of the celebrated endurance race will take place on 14th and 15th June 2008. This year, Alis is offering the possibility to all spectators of the Le Mans 24 Hours Road Race to organise their return journey in the best of conditions.
We are proposing in effect to, as of today, buy in advance a motorway toll coupon for the A28 motorway section between Le Mans and the A13 motorway, south of Rouen. These coupons will be at the 2007 toll tariff; the increase in motorway toll tariffs that will come into effect as of 1st February 2008 does not apply to these pre-paid coupons. In addition, the coupon that you will receive by post will allow you to use the « t » lanes at the Roumois toll plaza (near Rouen) - usually reserved for sole use of vehicles with automatic toll tags - and in that manner save time. For more information on the details of this offer and to download the order form, click here.
OPENING OF THE ARGENTAN SOUTH / SEES SECTION OF THE A88 MOTORWAY
- 26 novembre 2007
The first section of the A88 motorway, between Argentan and Sées, was opened to traffic on 26th November 2007. This new 15 km motorway section, built by the state, contributes to road safety and reduces journey times between the Rouen - Alençon A28 motorway and the towns of Argentan, Falaise and Caen.
Awaiting the future appointment of the concession company that will operate the A88 motorway, ALIS will operate this section during the interim period, temporarily without toll, on behalf of the state.
By the year 2010, the A88 will directly link Caen to Sées, via Falaise and Argentan. This motorway will give the Orne Department quick and easy access to the Normandy coast and the major channel ports of Caen, Ouistreham and Cherbourg. This new door to Continental Europe from the British Isles will provide a new route, via the Rouen - Alençon A28 motorway, to the major road network that exists in the West, Centre and South West of France.
With the opening of the A88 motorway, Normandy will complete access to the national and European motorway network, necessary for the development of the regional economy and tourism.
