The Route nationale 66 , or N 66 or RN 66 for short , is a French national road .

history

This street number was added to the national road network in 1824. Until 1973 the road ran from Bar-le-Duc to the Swiss border near Basel . It goes back to route 84 impériale. The length was 270 kilometers.

In 1887, the 23-kilometer section from the junction south of Epinal to Remiremont was taken over by the N57 national road . From this point on, the national road N66 consisted of three sections.

Until 1923, when the Voie Sacrée was established, the N66 ended in the center of Bar-le-Duc without any further connection to the national road network.

In 1973, the section that ran from Bar-le-Duc to an intersection with the national road N4 was given the national road number N135 . The section from the junction with the national road N4 to Epinal, on the other hand, was downgraded to a departmental road .

In 2006, the section from Mulhouse to the Swiss border was downgraded. The N66 crossed the Vosges main ridge at Col de Bussang at 731 meters above sea level. The source of the Moselle is located there .

Between the pass and Mulhouse , the road was rededicated as Reichsstraße 379 during the occupation of France in World War II . The pass was fought over in World War II. Retreating German soldiers blew up the existing road tunnel.
