Excerpt from Wikipedia

Autoroute 28 is a French mainland motorway linking Abbeville in the Somme to Tours in Indre-et-Loire. It is 405 km long. The motorway starts at Abbeville, France, splitting from the A16 and, after merging with the A13 near Rouen, ends at Tours, merging with the A10. The motorway between Rouen and Tours was added to the Schéma Directeur Routier National[ further explanation needed] in 1987.

Between Abbeville and Rouen, the first part, the motorway was built by the Ministry of the Equipment and Transports[ clarification needed]. 97 km long, this portion of the motorway is toll-free.

Between Rouen and Alençon, the second part, the motorway is operated by Alis[ further explanation needed] (partly owned by Sanef[ further explanation needed]) and is the first autoroute of France to have had offers[ clarification needed] by European companies following the withdrawal of the SAPN[ further explanation needed] in 1998 despite its contract initiated in 1995.[ clarification needed] The second stretch of road, opened on 27 October 2005, is 125 km long and passes over two large viaducts; the Viaduc de la Risle and the Viaduc du Bec.

The third and final stretch of road, between Alençon and the A10 near Tours, is operated by Cofiroute[ further explanation needed]. A portion of road between Écommoy and Tours was prevented from being built due to the presence of a protected species of beetle, Osmoderma Eremita, or the Pique Prune[ further explanation needed]. Construction began only in 2004, and the stretch was opened on 14 December.
