Question 18424 — road transport

Summary

Mr. Yoann Gillet draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, responsible for transport, to the non-compliance with financial commitments relating to the Nîmes western bypass project. The MP recalls that during a recent meeting of the road plan contract (CPR), it was revealed that Nîmes Métropole and the Gard departmental council would finance 55% of the road project. western bypass of Nîmes. Today, the MP learns of a drastic reduction in the State's financial participation, which goes from 50% to 30%, when, at the same time, that of the Occitanie region falls from 30% to 15%. This reduction in contributions puts local authorities in a critical financial position, forcing them to assume a disproportionate share of the financing of a project initially falling under the responsibility of the State. The MP underlines that this additional financial burden seriously compromises the feasibility of the project. The total cost of the Nîmes West bypass, managed by the regional environment, planning and housing department on behalf of the State, is estimated at around 340 million euros. The Vinci company should take charge of 80 million euros to finance the southern part of the project, going from the connection to the A9 to the RD40. This is therefore a remaining liability of 260 million euros, which will be distributed among the communities. He underlines that if the State and the region maintain their participation in the proportions announced by the regional prefect in the next plan contract, the agglomeration of Nîmes and the department of Gard will have to bear 55% of this sum, which is not sustainable for the two communities. He insists on the fact that local authorities are bearing the brunt of the consequences of these decisions, in contradiction with the commitments initially made. Taking these elements into account, he asks the reasons for this reduction in the State's financial participation and, apart from any consideration of the said project, demands that the State honor its commitments. Finally, he denounces the behavior of the Occitanie regional council, which, due to of poor management since 2025, is now cutting many support systems for communities.
