history

The first part of the route from Lille (exit 21) to Carvin (exit 18) was opened in 1954. Four years later, the opening was followed from there to Fresnes-les-Montauban (exit 16). It was only in 1964 that work was continued at another point: from Senlis (exit 8) to Le Bourget (exit 5). Just one year later (1965), two sections were opened: the first is that from Saint-Denis (exit 2) to Paris and the second is that from Senlis to Roye (exit 12). Another year later (1966) two sections were opened again. One is that from Saint-Denis to Le Bourget and the second that from Roye to Bapaume (exit 14). The last section opened in 1967: from Bapaume to Fresnes-lès-Montauban.
