Relief for motorists used to passing through the A13 in Île-de-France. Closed since April 19 between Vaucresson and Paris due to a movement of exposed ground following the appearance of cracks in the roadway, the motorway will reopen on Friday May 10 afternoon, only in the Province-Paris direction. , for light vehicles and on a single lane, indicates the Ile-de-France Roads Department (Dirif) to Le Figaro, confirming information from Le Parisien. The authorities first mentioned a reopening on Saturday May 11, “provided that all safety conditions are met”.
After the discovery of the cracks, the axis was closed to traffic and consolidation work carried out. The analyzes carried out ruled out a lack of maintenance and seemed to point to the responsibility of a nearby construction site, at the foot of a road retaining wall. Repair work had to be undertaken to allow its reopening. In the meantime, the State had decided to cover 50% of the toll price for the A14, an alternative route, for carpoolers.
This reopening comes at the right time for the end of the great Ascension Bridge, while Bison futé has classified the days of Saturday and Sunday orange and red in Île-de-France in the direction of returns.
In the Paris-Province direction, you will have to wait a few more weeks. Work will notably be undertaken “from next week by the Hauts-de-Seine Departmental Council” to repair a hydraulic structure located under the motorway, and also damaged by the movement of the ground. To do this, it will be necessary to “open the roadway to a depth of almost 5 meters”. “A prospect” of completely reopening the A13 to traffic “is envisaged at the end of June”, specifies the Dirif.
