Sunday, traffic forecasts are announced "very difficult"
The main difficulties were expected from 10 a.m. on Saturday and should however continue until the beginning of the evening, mainly on the A7 and A8 motorways in the Rhone Valley and on the Mediterranean Arc and on the A10 from Bordeaux to Paris.
The public service noted at noon an Orange-Vienne journey time of 3h20 instead of 1h30 and indicated that the traffic was loading in the ascent of the Rhone Valley.
In the capital of the Gauls, the closure for maintenance work of the Fourvière tunnel, the Lyon portion of the A6/A7 motorway heading south, is preventing traffic flow.
Sunday, also in the direction of returns, the traffic forecasts are announced as "very difficult" in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Monday, “the combination of returning from vacation and work-home journeys will make traffic difficult”, classified red in Île-de-France and in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
