According to Actu.fr, this incident follows another disruption on Thursday March 20: traffic was interrupted in the morning to allow for a mine-clearing operation in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, where two World War II shells had been discovered on a building site.

For this Friday, travellers are therefore advised to allow extra travel time or to use alternative routes if possible.
