The outer ring road will be closed between Brancion Gate and Bagnolet Gate during the night from Tuesday, October 20 to Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Expect disruptions for car travel, as other Île-de-France routes are also shutting down.

Caution for evening traffic returns! The outer ring road will close between the Brancion Gate and the Bagnolet Gate on the night of Tuesday, October 20 to Wednesday, October 21, 2026, according to the Sytadin nightly closures program. The road information service rates the expected disruption as severe.

Which sector to avoid and at what times?

The closure affects the route from Brancion to Bagnolet via the southern and eastern outskirts of Paris, in the outward direction. Sytadin lists it within its nightly closure window of 21 h à 6 h, without giving a specific schedule for this stretch.

Several closures to watch as well: the A3 toward the provinces is shutting between Bagnolet and Rosny-sous-Bois, and the A6b toward Paris between L’Haÿ-les-Roses and Porte d’Italie. Before you head out, check the traffic status and build some extra time into your journey. On the ground, follow the posted detours.

A Longer Closure at the Porte de Montreuil

In the same area, another restriction begins on October 20: the exit ramp off the outer ring road at the Montreuil Gate will be closed until December 17, 2026. This measure accompanies the rearrangement of the gate, according to the City of Bagnolet. It thus follows a schedule separate from the nightly closure between Brancion and Bagnolet.
