The '''A86''' (sometimes called "'''Paris super-périphérique'''") is the second [[ring road]] around [[Paris]], [[France]]. It follows an irregular path around Paris with the distance from the city centre ([[Notre Dame de Paris|Notre Dame]]) varying in the {{convert|8|-|16|km}} range. The south-western section of A86 contains one of Europe's longest urban motorway tunnels ({{cvt|10|km}} of continuous tunnel) known as the {{ill|Duplex A86|fr}}, opened in two parts in 2009 and 2011. The tunnel is limited to a height of {{cvt|2.0|m}} and commercial vehicles are prohibited as a result.

Although now a complete motorway-standard loop, the A86 is a product of its heavily urban  route and piecemeal construction, meaning that there are several points at which one has to [[Glossary_of_road_transport_terms#TOTSO|turn-off-to-stay-on]] (TOTSO) and sections which are briefly parts of the [[a3 autoroute|A3]] and [[A4 autoroute]]s.<ref>{{cite web |title=Appendix 2.8 – FRANCE – the Duplex Tunnel A 86 in western Paris area |url=https://tunnels.piarc.org/en/system/files/media/file/appendix_2.08_-_france_-_paris_-_duplex_a86.pdf |website=PIARC WG5 "Complex Underground Road Networks" |publisher=PIARC |access-date=26 January 2020}}</ref>

A86 is a part of the three-ring-road system surrounding Paris and [[Île-de-France]]:
* [[Boulevard Périphérique]], completed in 1973, roughly an ellipse {{convert|9|x|11|km|abbr=on}} and limits of Paris city.
* A86, completed in 2011, irregular, {{convert|20|x|25|km|abbr=on}}, similar in size with London's [[North Circular Road|North Circular]] and [[South Circular Road, London|South Circular]].
* The [[Francilienne]], a partial ring, circa {{convert|50|km|abbr=on}} in diameter, comparable with London's [[M25 motorway]].

The [[Grand contournement de Paris]], two wide loops bypassing Paris, referred to as the First and Second Solutions, may be considered the fourth and fifth ring roads, but are too far from Paris to be considered real ring roads.

The '''Duplex A86''' is a 10&nbsp;km (6,2&nbsp;mi) long motorway [[tunnel]] in Paris, which forms part of the A86. Unlike most tunnels, this one is a single tube, double deck tunnel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO_jr-zewYc |title=France: A86 Duplex Tunnel in Paris |website=YouTube |date=25 June 2015 |access-date=2 September 2024}} (Captions are in English)</ref> It opened in two stages: the northern section ([[Rueil-Malmaison]] - [[A13 autoroute|A13]]) opened on 26 June 2009 and the southern section (A13 - [[Vélizy-Villacoublay]]) on 9 January 2011. It was initially open between 06:00 and 22:00. From 1 September 2009, it became operational 24/7.

Due to the nature of this tunnel, it has a height restriction of 2 m (6&nbsp;ft 6 in) which precludes large vehicles using the tunnel and has a speed limit of 70&nbsp;km/h (43&nbsp;mph). Motorcycles and vehicles with [[dangerous goods]] are also not permitted.
