Traffic in Île-de-France: the closure of the Saint-Cloud tunnel on the A13 causes big traffic jams – archyworldys

Right at the time of weekend returns, Sunday around 5:50 p.m., the Saint-Cloud tunnel on the A13, well known to those who are going to spend a few days in Normandy, was completely closed to traffic in both directions. The reason ? “A theft of cables leading to the loss of safety equipment in the tunnel at Boulogne-Billancourt in the Hauts-de-Seine”, according to the direction of the roads of Île-de-France.

As a result, many motorists spent several hours in their car before being able to return to their homes.

And this Monday morning, the situation is far from returning to normal. The Île-de-France roads department does not indicate a timetable for restarting the tunnel. It is content to advise alternative routes: starting from Paris, direction the Pont de Sèvres then the N118, the A86 and the N12 direction Dreux and the A12 direction Rocquencourt before returning to the A13. Coming from the provinces, take the A12 then the N12 towards Créteil, the A86 towards Créteil and the N118 towards Pont de Sèvres.
