'Motorway of Maurienne', after Aiton), is an autoroute (motorway) in France. Travelling through the French Alps, it connects the city of Lyon with the Tunnel du Fréjus, near Modane, which passes the Italian border towards Turin. The autoroute opened in phases as it was constructed between 1973 and 1998.
