A69 freeway: two arsons targeted the construction site, according to prime contractor Atosca

Ouest France, June 10, 2025

On Monday June 9, 2025, two fires destroyed bridge formwork on the A69 motorway construction site, according to Atosca, the main contractor and future operator for this disputed freeway.

“These are acts of vandalism that took place over the weekend, arson,” explained a company spokeswoman. She added that the fires had occurred on Monday morning, one in the commune of Vendine (Haute-Garonne) and the other in Teulat (Tarn). “These are formworks [around bridges under construction] that were completely destroyed by the flames, and this will force us to redo them”, she added, indicating that the company had “lodged a complaint”.

The damage comes after the courts authorized the resumption of work at the end of May, following the cancellation of environmental authorizations by the Toulouse administrative court at the end of February. During a visit by Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot on April 4, Atosca reported that it had recorded 419 incidents, giving rise to 212 complaints since work began.
