As per reports, construction activities associated with the A412 motorway project between Machilly and Thonon-les-Bains in Haute-Savoie remain authorised to continue as of Sunday (08 November), following the Lyon Administrative Court of Appeal’s rejection of an application seeking the immediate suspension of works on 29 October.
• The application was filed by the City of Geneva and neighbouring Swiss municipalities, including Choulex, Presinge, Gy, Puplinge, Vandœuvres and Lancy, over environmental concerns associated with the project. The court’s decision concerns the interim suspension of construction activities, while the underlying legal challenge remains unresolved.
• Reports indicate that the legal challenge centres on concerns regarding deforestation, wetland degradation and potential damage to biodiversity along the planned motorway corridor. Environmental organisations and local opponents have previously undertaken demonstrations and attempted to obstruct vegetation-clearing activities near construction areas.
