Does the project have an environmental permit?

The project has been subject to an environmental assessment under the Water Act. After a study of the environmental effects and the associated avoidance, reduction and compensation measures, the environmental authorisation file was submitted to a public inquiry at the end of 2023. Following the contributions of the public, the investigating commissioner issued a favourable opinion, allowing the obtaining of a prefectural order of environmental authorisation. This authorisation validates construction methods and compensatory measures, such as the reconstitution of a wetland, and requires monitoring during the construction and operation phase. Urban development work on the RN7 will begin in the 1st quarter of 2025.
