A14 Toll Becomes Free During A13 Closure in France
What happened
The A14 motorway, which links Île-de-France and Normandy, is set to become free on weekdays starting November 16. This change replaces a previous plan for a 50% toll discount. The measure is being implemented because the A13, which connects Paris and Caen, will temporarily close for reinforcement works.
