The A28 section from Rouen to Alencon is due to open 27 October 2005, which will mean fast motorway access to the south via Le Mans and the Loire Valley from the channel ports of Le Havre and Caen/Ouistreham. The section from Alencon to Le Mans is already open. but the new road will mean that the Alencon is about an hour away from Rouen, and with the A13 autoroute to Caen and the the existing A28 northwards towards Dieppe, Boulogne and Calais - all making a real alternative to having to negotiate Paris - and so far at least it is quieter (except around Rouen) - and has some delightful scenery and views.

I wish my new Mercedes had this autoroute on the system. On the outward journey from Calais to Saumar we went via the Route National, an uninteresting journey except for a superb lunch at the Dauphin in Sees. The return journey was excellent using the A28.
