The wind is blowing very hard Thursday November 21, 2024 in Nantes, to the point that Météo-France has placed the department on orange alert for violent winds. Also from 10 a.m.access to Cheviré bridge will be restricted in both directions of traffic.

The traffic is prohibited to several types of vehicles on the bridge. In addition, according to the Interdepartmental Direction of Western Roads (Diro), “in view of a stronger wind expected from 3 p.m.”, it is possible that the bridge will be completely closed to traffic.

“With this in mind, one lane in two will be neutralized from 1:30 p.m. in each direction of traffic upstream of the Cheviré bridge. This reduction in capacity is likely to cause some slowdowns or congestion,” explains Diro.

Which vehicles are prohibited?

• vehicles with a height greater than 2.00 m.
• coupled vehicles (caravans, trailers),
• motorized two-wheelers,
• vehicles used for transporting dangerous materials.
