Route Nationale 2
The Route nationale 2 (N 2) is a route nationale in northern France. Route Paris-Soissons-Laon-La Capelle-''Belgium (N 6)'' History The N 2 was initially defined in 1811 as ''route impériale'' 2, running from Paris all the way to Amsterdam via Brussels, Antwerp, Breda and Utrecht. The territory north of the present border with Belgium was removed from France in the 1815 Congress of Vienna, and thus route 2 was truncated to that line. In 1824 it was renamed ''route royale'' 2, and in 1830 it became ''route nationale'' 2. The former path to Amsterdam is now the N6 and N1 in Belgium and the N263 and unnumbered roads paralleling the A27 and A2 in the Netherlands. Description of Route Paris to Soissons (0 km to 100 km) The RN 2 starts at the Porte de la Villette in north-east Paris. Called the Avenue Jean Jaurès to Le Bourget crossing the A 86 autoroute and then A 1 autoroute (Paris to Lille). The road passes the Aéroport de Paris - Le Bourget. Where it turns east leaving ...

A27 Motorway (Netherlands)
The A27 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands. It is approximately 109 kilometers in length. The A27 is located in the Dutch provinces North Brabant, South Holland, Utrecht, North Holland, and Flevoland. It connects the city of Breda with the Almere. On its way, it passes the cities of Gorinchem, Utrecht and Hilversum. Route description 'Shared section' with A58 motorway Although not officially a part of the ''Rijksweg 27'', the section of the A58 motorway between interchanges Galder and Sint-Annabosch is also being referred to as A27, next to the road's official reference number A58. Technically this situation is incorrect, since the A27's official start is only at interchange Sint-Annabosch. However, the reference A27 has probably been added to the road signs to help traffic coming from Antwerp in finding their way from the A16 / E19 towards the A27. European routes No major European routes follow the A27 motorway. The only one to follow it, is the E311 ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A 104 Autoroute
The Francilienne () is a partially completed ring road in Île-de-France (the ''région'' that includes Paris), France, lying outside the A86. The planned ring road is approximately in diameter, similar in size to London's M25 motorway. Started in 1970, existing segments cover about two-thirds of the ring, under different names (A104, N104, N184). Construction of the western sections, which would complete the Francilienne, was projected in the late 2000s to take place between 2011 and 2015. All future construction is to be to motorway standard and designated as A104 only. However, in June 2013, the 'Mobilité 21' National Infrastructure Priority report pushed completion of the western section beyond 2021 and possibly 2030, relegating the Francilienne to a low-priority (second class) national infrastructure project (along with €80 billion worth of other road, rail, and river/port projects), behind €30 billion in high-priority (first class) projects likely to be the only o ...

A 3 Autoroute
The A3 Autoroute is a French autoroute located entirely within the départment of Seine-Saint-Denis, serving Montreuil-sous-Bois, Rosny-sous-Bois, and Bondy.

Route Nationale 17
The Route nationale 17, or RN17, is a trunk road ( nationale) in France connecting Paris to the border with Belgium. Reclassification The majority of the route runs close to the A1 autoroute.

A 1 Autoroute
The A1 Autoroute, also known as l'autoroute du Nord (the Northern Motorway), is the busiest of France's autoroutes. With a length of , it connects Paris with the northern city of Lille.

A 86 Autoroute
A86 (sometimes called "Paris super-périphérique") is the second ring road around Paris, France. It follows an irregular path around Paris with the distance from the city centre ( Notre Dame) varying in the range. The south-western section of A86 contains one of the world's longest urban motorway tunnels ( of continuous tunnel), opened in two parts in 2009 and 2011. The tunnel is limited to a height of and commercial vehicles are prohibited as a result. Although now a complete motorway-standard loop, the A86 is a product of its heavily urban route and piecemeal construction, meaning that there are several points at which one has to TOTSO (Turn Off To Stay On) and sections which are briefly parts of the A3 and A4 autoroutes. A86 is a part of the five-ring-road system surrounding Paris and Île-de-France: * Boulevard Périphérique, completed in 1973, roughly an ellipse and limits of Paris city. * A86, completed in 2011, irregular, , similar in size with London's North Cir ...
