Île-de-France: Bison Futé forecasts massive traffic jams for the end of the Paralympic Games this weekend

In Île-de-France, the end of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games this weekend promises to be complicated on the roads. Classified as orange from Friday September 6 to Sunday September 8, 2024, the region could experience traffic jams in both directions, according to Bison Futé. With restrictions on several major routes, the site recommends avoiding crossing Paris.

This weekend sees the closing of the Paralympic Games in Paris, and Bison Futé 's forecasts predict tricky traffic conditions. All roads in the Île-de-France region will be affected, in particular the A1, A4, A12 and A13 freeways, as well as the N13 and the boulevard périphérique. The 185 kilometers of Olympic lanes reserved for accredited vehicles will severely complicate traffic for other users. The 135-euro fine for those using the reserved lanes further deters drivers.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are classified orange, a rarity outside the school vacations. From Friday onwards, Bison Futé forecasts major congestion on the main roads in the Paris region, even though the back-to-school week has already seen traffic peaks of up to 550 km of accumulated traffic jams.

The main areas at risk this weekend include the Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines toll booth on the A10 freeway, especially between 9am and 12pm, and the Fleury-en-Bière toll booth on theA6, where traffic will intensify on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.

To better anticipate these traffic jams, you can consult detailed forecasts on the official Anticiper les Jeux website, or follow traffic conditions in real time via Bison Futé and Sytadin.
