Traffic heavily disrupted

Traffic heavily disrupted - Traffic is severely disrupted on the A500 between Monaco and Nice this Tuesday morning, March 18th. The incident, caused by an accident, has led to the closure of the entrance ramp at Interchange 56, near the Monaco tunnel. This closure affects traffic heading towards the A8 motorway. The ramp has been closed since 8am and despite earlier reports that it had reopened it would appear that no time frame has been provided for its reopening.

In addition, the access ramp from the A500 toward the A8 motorway is completely blocked. Authorities are currently investigating the incident, and drivers heading towards Aix/Marseille or Nice will need to find alternative routes.
