Two public consultations on transport initiatives are being held this week – a new slip-road to the A8 and the latest on l’Aixpress which is the ‘Bus a Haut Niveau de Service’.
The new slip-road will provide access from the A51, coming from the 
direction of Venelles, to the west-bound A8. Currently motorists have to go on urban roads through Jas de Bouffan.
The cost, 16.62m euros, will be met by the Pays d’Aix and the work will be carried out by Vinci Autoroutes ASF. It will start towards the end of 2018 and take 20 months. Two bridges will cross a railway-line and a road, plus there will be a pedestrian walkway.
The website is http://www.bifurcation-a8-a51.fr and the meeting will take place on 6th July, 18:30, at Salle du Chateau de l’Horloge au Jas de Bouffan, 50 rue Chateau de l’Horloge, 13090 Aix.
(Connecting up the A8 in the opposite direction, to the A51 north, will cost another 31m euros, and is for the future).
The new l’Aixpress bus which will run from Krypton Parking, up to the Rotonde and out to Jas de Bouffan is described in a previous post: https://aixcentric.com/2015/03/25/aix-bus-news-plus-whats-on-this-weekend/
There will be a public meeting on 5th July at 18:00hrs at the Salle des Congres in Aix.
