The 2.5 km long Prado Carénage Tunnel allows traffic to quickly cross the city of Marseille without leaving the motorway. The Tunnel Prado Carénage connects the Southern districts of Marseille and the Eastern motorway to the city centre and to North via the Vieux Port tunnel and the coastal motorway.
