RN102 users have been waiting for it for a while now. The partial commissioning of the RN102 with 2×2 lanes takes place this Wednesday, November 6, while the construction site continues.
In a press release dated this Monday, November 4, the Regional Directorate of Environment, Planning and Housing (DREAL) Auvergne-Rhône Alpes formalized “the commissioning, on Wednesday, November 6, of the new link to 2×2 lanes between the A75 motorway and Brioude via the RN 102, but without its two intermediate interchanges of Arvant and Cohade.”
Waited for almost 40 years, this expressway will soon open to traffic in Haute-Loire
If users of the RN102 between the A75 and Brioude will therefore be able to take the expressway from this date, traffic will not however be complete. The work is in fact not finished:
It now remains to complete the work on the future traffic-free Arvant and Cohade interchanges on the historic RN 102 section, as well as the final connection work to the Largelier diversion.
One direction of the Largelier deviation closed for 4 months
So that these can be carried out in complete safety, Dreal specifies that: “Traffic on the RN 102 in the Brioude / A75 direction is prohibited on the Largelier deviation from November 4, 2024 and for a duration of approximately 4 months. Users are therefore invited to exercise the greatest caution in construction zones and to respect speed limits.”
In fact, users of the RN 102 in the Brioude / A75 direction will have to take the Largelier crossing, limited to 50 km/h.
