A52 Autoroute
The A52 autoroute is a 25.3 km long motorway in the Bouches du Rhone departement of southeastern France. The road links the A8 autoroute with the A50 autoroute and runs from a junction 1 km east of the Péage de La Barque on the A8 to near the town of Aubagne where it meets the A50. It is a toll road except for the very southern stretch south of the Péage du Pont d'Etoile and is operated by ESCOTA. Traffic information for the road is covered by Radio Vinci Autoroutes (FM107.7). It is a mixture of 2x2 and 2x3 lane road, with recent construction work to widen some of the 2x2 lane sections (2018). The A52 effectively provides a bypass of the city of Marseille, enabling those travelling between Toulon/ Hyeres and Aix-en-Provence and Lyon to avoid travelling through the city. When travelling southbound from Aix-en-Provence to Toulon, one must take the exit slip after the Péage du Pont d'Etoile in order to remain on the A52. This anomaly is a result of the construction h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
