The A6 motorway was built in the years 1953 until 1971. 1953 was the start of construction of the first 34 km section between Paris and Le Coudray- Montceaux, which opened seven years later in 1960. 1961 SAPL (abbr. for Société de l' Autoroute Paris -Lyon; German Society of Paris -Lyon motorway ) was founded. The construction work on the 25 km long section between Auxerre Sud and Nitry started in the summer of 1961 began and lasted until the opening of the section in 1963. The use of the highway was initially free.
In 1964, the portion of Nitry was handed over to Avallon circulation. In addition, the toll was introduced on the section between Auxerre and Avallon for all motor vehicles. The rest of the route between Fleury- en-Biere and Lima was also a toll road. A free section was opened between Le Coudray- Montceaux and Ury.
In 1965, the sections between junctions Auxerre Auxerre Nord -Sud and between Ury and Nemours were opened. In the following years other sections of Arnas - North to Arnas -Sud ( 12 km) and of Nemours were completed to Auxerre Nord. As of 1967, the Paris motorway linked to Avallon to 210 km without interruption.
In 1969, the sections between Avallon and Pouilly -en- Auxois, between Villefranche -sur -Saône and Mâcon -Nord and between Anse and Limonest were opened. With the traffic handover of the last section between Pouilly -en- Auxois and Mâcon -Nord ( 1970) and the opening of the tunnel fourviere was completed the construction of the A6.

In 1975, the SAPL was (abbreviation for Societe des Autoroutes Paris -Rhin -Rhône, German Society of motorways Paris -Rhin -Rhône ) in the SAPRR renamed.

The feeder road was built in the late 1960s in order to better connect with the Paris suburb of Rungis. After a few years in the 1970s it was used by about 100,000 vehicles daily. The result was that the line was equipped to a total of 825 yards on four sections with noise barriers. 2001, the old noise barriers have been removed. By 2012, the entire route was equipped with new noise barriers worth 120 million euros.
