This year, the Assumption Bridge weekend promises heavy traffic as many travelers hit the roads, coinciding with a public holiday. The forecast indicates that the majority of traffic will flow from south to north, particularly as vacationers return home. Bison futé, the French traffic monitoring service, has outlined the expected disruptions, especially on key motorways and national roads.
From Wednesday, August 14, to Monday, August 19, travelers can anticipate significant congestion on various routes. The busiest days are expected to be Saturday, August 17, and Sunday, August 18, when traffic is classified as red, indicating very difficult conditions. Motorways such as the A7, A10, and A9 are likely to experience severe slowdowns, particularly in the direction of returns as holidaymakers make their way back to urban areas.
