From Grand Littoral, from 7 a.m., the convoy will take the A55 towards Vitrolles, then the A7 towards Lyon. The junction of the Grand Littoral and La Valentine processions will take place at the Vitrolles tunnel, which will have a very strong impact on access from Marseille to Marseille Provence airport (Marignane), between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.
The installation of a filter barrier on the Lançon-de-Provence toll in both directions should significantly impact traffic times. Three additional peripheral processions are announced in the direction of Lançon: at Saint-Martin-de-Crau, gathering at 6 a.m. for a departure around 7 a.m., at the Barque toll, gathering rather around 8 a.m., at the entrance via the Cavaillon toll d another procession coming from Vaucluse. Actions in the city center of Marseille could also take place.
The prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône invites users to anticipate or postpone their trips, avoid the sectors indicated above and favor alternative routes (A55 / RN 568, bis from Sénas (RD7N), avoidance of Marseille by A52 / A8 ) and to remain cautious when approaching congestion points. State services, internal security forces and road managers are mobilized on the ground to secure the surroundings of these congestion points.
