Another night of roadworks on the A13 in the Mantois. In the Yvelines, the ramp of interchange no. 11 Mantes Est will be closed overnight from Monday, October 5 to Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The announcement comes from the town hall of Mantes-la-Ville, which shared it on its official Facebook page on October 4, as reported by the Mairie de Mantes-la-Ville.
This interchange is no ordinary one. It serves the centres of Mantes-la-Jolie and Mantes-la-Ville, as well as Limay and Guerville. In short, a large portion of local residents rely on it to get home.
The closure runs from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., aligning with the standard night-time window for highway work. Traffic is lighter then, allowing crews to work safely. By 5 a.m., access returns to its usual pattern for the first commuter trips.
The town hall refers to "the following closures" in its post. For now, only one night is confirmed. Additional dates could be added in the coming days, and we will update this article if that happens.
Detours are being put in place for the entire duration of the intervention, depending on the municipality. The exact routes of these detours have not been detailed. On site, temporary signage guides motorists to nearby interchanges.
To avoid any unwelcome surprises, the simplest option is to check the traffic situation before you head out on Bison Futé or Sytadin, which monitor real-time disruptions in Île-de-France. The website of the Société des autoroutes Paris-Normandie also posts planned closures on its network.
The stretch linking Épône to Buchelay, passing through Mantes Est, Mantes Sud and Mantes Ouest, has been governed by construction since the Buchelay toll was removed and traffic switched to free-flow. Barriers disappeared in March 2025, but the transformation of the area continues, with works slated to finish in 2027.
Regulars will recall: in January and February 2026, Exit 12 Mantes Sud was closed overnight to install new signaling gantries. The town hall does not specify, this time, the nature of the works or the agency carrying them out. The link to this modernization program is therefore not officially confirmed, even if the timetable and hours follow the same logic.
Yes, and this time the focus is on the capital’s entry. The Saint-Cloud tunnel will be closed in the Paris-to-province direction, from the périphérique boulevard to the Vaucresson interchange, from 16 November 2026 to the end of August 2027, as announced by the town of Vaucresson. A public information meeting with the Île-de-France Roads Department is scheduled for Tuesday, 13 October.
Set to disrupt journeys to Normandy and to the western part of Yvelines for months on end. [Internal Sortiraparis link about the closure of the Saint-Cloud tunnel to be added if an article exists]
If you’re driving through the area tonight, it’s wise to head out a few minutes earlier and watch the highway’s variable-message signs.
