Toll plaza may fund France A31 motorway expansion

A toll plaza may be established by the French government to fund a US$1.53 billion (€1.2 billion) expansion to three-lanes of the A31 motorway from Nancy, France, to Luxembourg. The tolling operation is likely to be somewhere on the busy A31 stretch between Thionville, France, and Luxembourg. Some 100,000 cars travel between Thionville and Luxembourg each day, and it has become an alternative route for travelling between Germany and the Mediterranean.
