Yvelines MP Karl Olive calls for free access to the A14 and the A86 Duplex

The Normandy highway is closed to traffic between Paris and Vaucresson until Monday inclusive due to cracks detected in the roadway.

“In an exceptional situation, an exceptional decision”estimated Saturday April 20 on franceinfo Karl Olive, Renaissance MP for Yvelines who is calling for free access to the A14 and the Duplex of the A86 (a ten-kilometer-long motorway tunnel) while the A13 motorway has been closed since Friday.

The Normandy highway is closed to traffic between Paris and Vaucresson (Hauts-de-Seine) until Monday inclusive. Cracks in the roadway were detected between the viaduct and the Saint-Cloud tunnel. “We are on routes which are usually very busy, whether on the A13 with returns from Normandy or the A86, with returns which sometimes come from the A10 or the A11 coming from Bordeaux and from Nantes”he explained.

On the eve of Parisians returning from vacation, it is urgent to find a solution to avoid congestion, believes MP Renaissance. He contacted the prefect of Yvelines to demand free access to the A14 motorway and the Duplex of the A86 which allows you to reach Paris via Porte Maillot. This road axis is considered one of the most expensive in France.

“These returns from vacation coupled this Sunday with the PSG-Lyon match, which will attract some 50,000 people, will really completely congest these routes which are heavily used by users.”
