Traffic on the Vinci Atoroutes network was largely disrupted by the mobilization of farmers. What about this Saturday, February 3 in the morning ? Let's take stock.

This time it's there. Traffic, largely impacted for a week by the anger of farmers, has been restored on almost the entire Vinci Autoroutes network.

In a press release published Friday, February 2 in the early evening, the concessionaire explains that, thanks in particular to the mobilization of its teams on the ground, traffic conditions “were gradually able to experience a return to normal during the day of this Friday, February 2 on the majority of motorways in the Vinci Autoroutes network, with in particular the reopening of the A7 axes (between Vienne and Aix en Provence/Marseille), A9 (between Orange and Nîmes), A10 (from Île-de-France to Poitiers and from Niort to Bordeaux), A20 in the Montauban sector and A54 between Arles and Nîmes”.

Two sectors remained disrupted by demonstrations yesterday evening: the A7, from the north to the south of Lyon, and the A10 in the Poitiers sector. Here is the detail.

Traffic was able to resume in the following sectors:

Reopening of the A7 between Chanas (n°12) and Tain l’Hermitage (n°13), in both directions Reopening of the A9 between Gallargues and Nîmes Est in both directions; between Remoulins and the A9/A7 junction in Orange, direction Lyon Reopening of the A20 in the Montauban sector in both directions Reopening of the A54 between Nîmes and Garons in both directions

At 7:30 p.m. Friday February 2, only two demonstrations were still impacting traffic:

The A7 North remains cut in both directions south of Lyon, near Vienne, between the Vienne Sud interchange (n° 11) and the A7/A46/A47 junction Cut of the A10 between Saint-Maixent and Poitiers in both directions

Vinci Autoroutes adds that “access to certain interchanges may be occasionally modified by traffic management measures”.
