Closure of the road to the summit of Mont Ventoux, triggering of the winter viability plan, creation of a greenway, or even restructuring of colleges. What work is planned by the Department of Vaucluse in November?
Like every year in November, the Department of Vaucluse will close the RD974 which gives access to the summit of the Giant of Provence. The date will be set for Friday November 15 or Friday November 22 depending on changes in weather conditions.
The Arbalestière roundabout, located on the RD28 between Vedène and Morières-lès-Avignon, will undergo planing work and renewal of the wearing course on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 November from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A local diversion will be in place.
In mid-November, the Department will launch its winter road plan, which aims to guarantee the safety of users on all departmental roads, particularly in the event of snowfall or the formation of ice. Road center agents will focus on three areas: anticipation, mobilization and security. Please note that winter tires (or equivalent equipment) have been compulsory in certain municipalities in Vaucluse since November 1.
