Why It Matters
Rue Yves-Cariou connects the two parts of the commune of Marnes-la-Coquette and constitutes a necessary passage to access the Sèvres - Ville-d'Avray station. The Quatre-Cèdres bridge, which it takes, spans the A13. From November 16, this street will be closed to cars, two-wheelers and pedestrians for the repair of the bridge. At the same time, the A13 will be closed for nine months, from mid-November to mid-August, for the renovation of the Saint-Cloud tunnel in the Paris-province direction.
“We are going to be completely isolated,” fears François, 65, under the benevolent gaze of the trees of Square Pasteur, in Marnes-la-Coquette. With a movement of his head, this former chess teacher points to the park gates, closed for work, before continuing: “soon, it will be the turn of rue Yves-Cariou”.
This busy artery connects the two parts of the town. It is also a must for all those who live on the other side of the axis and who wish to reach the Sèvres - Ville-d'Avray station. But from November 16, rue Yves-Cariou will in fact be closed to cars, two-wheelers and pedestrians. At issue: the repair of the Quatre-Cèdres bridge, which spans it, and over which the A13 passes. The highway itself will be closed for nine months, from mid-November to mid-August, while the Saint-Cloud tunnel in the Paris-province direction is renovated.
