Cars moving forward millimeter by millimeter, insults, horns… Car traffic congestion is generating tensions this Thursday evening, November 21, in Nantes. Traffic has rarely been so complicated. It is largely explained by the closures of the Saint-Nazaire bridge and the Cheviré bridge due to the very strong gusts of wind from the Caetano storm. Added to this is the closure of the blue route in the country of Retz. Motorists wanting to cross the Loire had no choice but to pass through the other Nantes bridges.
It sometimes takes tens of minutes to advance just a few meters. The after-school leaders have been notified and expect to look after the children beyond 6:30 p.m. this Thursday. However, the two bridges of Saint-Nazaire and Cheviré reopened at the end of the day. But traffic shifts still have a very strong impact, at 7 p.m., in Nantes.
In addition to this, a power outage is causing major disruptions at Nantes station with numerous train cancellations.
