Ponts de Mai: a very difficult Friday is expected on the roads of the Ile-de-France

Be careful if you do the long weekend this weekend, it could start with some traffic. In fact, this Friday is classified in red heading towards the departures in Ile-de-France. Bison Futé plans numerous departures for long weekends or even for a week of vacation, while Wednesday, May 8 and Thursday, May 9 will be holidays.

Difficulties “from the end of the morning”

Bison Futé thus foresees “heavy traffic towards the different tolls, especially on the A6 and A10 motorways.”

“These traffic difficulties could be recorded from the end of the morning, as well as on the ring road, the A86 and A6B motorways and will be reinforced in the middle of the afternoon by the traffic generated by “work-home” trips. and it will remain dense until well into the night,” the organization anticipates in its forecasts.

Please note that the A13 is still closed, making traffic conditions especially difficult to the west of the capital.

An orange Saturday throughout France

The difficulties will continue on Saturday, with a day classified as orange in terms of departures throughout the country. The situation will always be complicated in Ile-de-France: Bison Futé advises leaving or crossing Ile-de-France before 8 in the morning.

“The A13 motorway could experience significant traffic from mid-morning. These difficulties could continue until mid-afternoon,” says Bison Futé.

So it is better to avoid:

• the A36 motorway, between Besançon and Mulhouse, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
• the A13 motorway, between Rouen and Caen, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
• on the A11 motorway, between Anger and Nantes, from 12 to 2 p.m.,
• the A7 motorway, between Lyon and Orange, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
• the Mont-Blanc tunnel (N205), between France and Italy, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Very complicated returns

Once you leave you will have to come back and the following weekend can be very complicated on the roads. Bison Futé thus anticipates a red Sunday in the sense of returns throughout France and even black in the Great West and the center of the country.
