Tolling to fund France-Luxembourg A31 expansion

The French government is considering establishing a toll plaza to fund the €1.2 billion expansion to three lanes of the A31 motorway from Nancy, France to Luxembourg. The toll plaza, or 'péage', would be located somewhere on the busy A31 stretch between Thionville, France, and Luxembourg. Some 100,000 cars travel between Thionville and Luxembourg each day. The stretch has become a popular alternative route for motorists travelling between Germany and the Mediterranean.
