Building a Highway

Traveled by more than 120,000 motorists a day, the A13 is one of the oldest and most famous motorways in France. It connects Normandy to Paris, and was the first to be built, before the Second World War, requiring huge financing and great ingenuity to shape.This straight line across west France has been traced thanks to the construction of Viaducts and tunnels, to the flattening of land and hills.This megastructure doc will reveal the technical prowess in this pha- raonic project which lasted 35 years at a rate of 6 million euros spent per kilometer.
