It’s an understatement to say that traffic is going to be (even more) disrupted in the city center of Clermont-Ferrand this summer. Starting Monday, July 1, it will be impossible for motorists to go down the Saint-Jacques viaduct. Later, it will be in the uphill direction…
Started in July 2023, the rehabilitation of the Saint-Jacques viaduct is not yet complete. Long and technical, the project must make it possible to reinforce the structure of the emblematic work in the heart of Clermont-Ferrand to ensure its sustainability and the safety of users.

As a direct result of the work, this lane of some 430 meters will be partly closed to traffic during the summer. Signposted diversions will be in place for drivers.
Traffic closures
- From July 1 to 14: descending
- From July 15 to August 4: in the upward direction
- From August 5 to 21: total closure
These measures only apply to vehicles. Trams and pedestrians can still travel in both directions.
