Entrances to Lyon have been very complicated since Wednesday morning after closing for work on the A7 motorway.
The south-north closure of the Pierre-Bénite viaduct which allows the Rhône to be crossed between the two exchangers of the A7 motorway promised to be complicated for holiday feedback in Lyon. She was finally already on Wednesday morning for Lyon motorists. The work has been closed to traffic for work since Tuesday evening. The closed bridge, several options are available to users from Marseille. Go around the agglomeration via the device or further by the A432, or enter Lyon via Gerland or the road to Vienna.
Two arteries that have been totally saturated since Wednesday morning. It was necessary to count 30 minutes on the Pierre-Semard boulevard and avenue Tony-Garnier to make the kilometer between the exit of M7 and the crossing of the McDonald’s. Nicolas, who came back from work in the afternoon, paid the price. “It was a bit long but it must be said that it is always a lot of a lot in this place”he relativizes. Same for Nathalie who just came to see friends in Lyon: “In general, I go out after the Museum of Confluences. I did not know that the road was closed, it was a bit of a hassle ”. Takes that current T10 tram work does not help dissipate. Currently it takes almost an hour to perform the 10 kilometers between Gerland and the start of traffic jams on the A7 at the Solaize level.
