History

The first section was opened in 1972 around Martigues. It was extended towards A7 near Saint-Victoret in 1975. The last section was completed connecting this junction to the Vieux-Port of Marseille in 1989.

Future

This motorway will be extended towards Arles by upgrading the N568 over the Plaine de la Crau. No date has been scheduled as yet, only a by-pass for Port-de-Bouc which is currently being evaluated.
