Route nationale 22
The Route nationale 22 (RN22) is a highway in southern France.
The road is a branch of the N20 connecting l'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre to Pas de la Casa in the Principality of Andorra. It runs parallel to the RN 320 which crosses Col de Puymorens. The roads follow the same route for a few kilometers. At Pas de la Casa, it connects the French entrance of the Tunnel d'Envalira.
This road has only been called the RN22 since 1975 when there was a general downgrading of the road network, before which it was called the NR20b. Formerly, RN22 was a section of the current trunk road N11 between Mauzé-sur-le-Mignon with the La Rochelle and a section in La Rochelle to the Port de la Pallice and the landing stage of the ferry to the L'île de Ré.
In winter, avalanches sometimes close the continuation of the road below Col de Puymorens — the N20.[1]
