Source-derived summary

The A131 Autoroute starts near Bourneville-Sainte-Croix close to exit 26 on the A13 and ends at the outskirts of Le Havre.

It is operated by the SANEF Paris Normandie and DIR Nord-Ouest. Its total length is 36.3 km (22.6 mi). Apart from the Pont de Tancarville where a toll is applicable, the motorway is toll-free. The road section on the Pont de Tancarville is renumbered RN182 to allow non-motorway traffic to cross the Seine.

History

This autoroute is the result of the merger of the former RN 182, transformed into a motorway between Bourneville-Sainte-Croix and the Pont de Tancarville, and the motorway linking the Pont de Tancarville to Le Havre, originally numbered A15.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 113-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around A131, autoroute and road.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“A131 autoroute” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, A131, autoroute and road provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q788650. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
