CIRCULATION – How to start your week badly. Many Ile-de-France residents have been stuck in traffic this Monday, October 25 because of the closure, from Sunday around 5:50 p.m., of the A13 motorway at the Saint-Cloud tunnel in both directions of traffic. The duration of this cut remains indefinite, precise Franceinfo.

This closure falls very badly, during the holidays of All Saints, when returning from the weekend. And this rainy Monday does not help: at 7:30 am, the site Sytadin counted more than 250 km of caps in Île-de-France, much more than a day of normal traffic.

Around 11 a.m. the axis was still saturated towards Paris between Rocquencourt and Saint-Cloud, specified Sytadin on Twitter.

Choose alternative routes

The motorway was cut between the Paris exit and the Saint-Cloud tunnel because of a “theft of cables leading to the loss of safety equipment in the Ambroise Paré tunnel”, in the town of Boulogne-Billancourt ( Hauts-de-Seine), reported the Direction des routes d’Île-de-France via Sytadin.

She therefore advises alternative routes: to leave Paris, it is recommended to take the N118, then the N12 towards Dreux to finally take the A12 towards Rocquencourt.

In the direction of Paris, Sytadin advises to take the A12, the N12 towards Créteil, the N118 towards Pont de Sèvres before recovering the Paris ring road.
