France: Night-time closure of the A40 motorway
Drivers travelling on the A40 in France will face major disruptions during the night of 24–25 November. The section between the Bonneville Zones Industrielles (junction 17) and Cluses (junction 19) will be completely closed due to the removal of concrete barriers installed for works related to the Flux libre system.
During the night from Monday 24 November to Tuesday 25 November, between 20:30 and 05:30, the stretch between junctions Bonneville Zones Industrielles 17 and Cluses 19 will be entirely closed to traffic. The closure is necessary to dismantle the concrete delineation used during works on the future Flux libre gantry in Vougy.
A detour via secondary roads will be provided for all vehicles. Preparatory works for the installation of the new gantries began on 22 September and also include the construction of safety shelters. Despite ongoing works, two lanes in each direction have been maintained, albeit with reduced width. Speed limits are in force until 12 November towards Geneva and until 24 November towards Chamonix. Removing the concrete safety barriers requires several night-time closures. Road authorities urge drivers to exercise caution, follow the signage and take the detours into account when planning their routes.
