Luxembourg's Administration des Ponts et Chaussées has announced that the Croix de Gasperich linking the A1 and A6 motorways will be partly closed this week-end for roadworks, from Friday 24 August at 20:00 until Monday 27 August at 06:00.

As part of the development of the Ban de Gasperich, the Administration des Ponts et Chaussées will proceed with the second of four phases relating to the construction of a new work of art rising above the A6 motorway at the Croix de Gasperich.

The second phase of the project involves the assembly of two sections of the new structure and will be carried out on the A1 and A6 motorways at the Croix de Gasperich in both directions.

During the works carried out during this second phase, the following motorways and ramps are blocked to traffic:

• the current section of the A1 and A6 motorways at the Croix de Gasperich from Trier (A1) and towards Arlon (A6),
• the current section of the A6 motorway between the Croix de Cessange and the Croix de Gasperich coming from Arlon (A6) and towards Trier (A1) and towards Metz (A3),
• the exit ramp of the Croix de Cessange coming from Arlon (A6) and towards Hollerich (A4).

Traffic from Trier on the A1 towards Arlon (A6) will be diverted from the Croix de Gasperich via the A3 to the Gluck roundabout back onto the A6.

Traffic coming from Arlon (A6) and towards Trier (A1) and towards Metz (A3), is deviated from the Croix de Cessange via the A4 motorway - Esch Junction - the A13 motorway - Croix de Bettembourg - the A3 motorway again on the A1 motorway. The traffic towards Metz is deviated from the Croix de Bettembourg by the ramp towards the A3 towards Metz.

Traffic coming from Arlon and towards Luxembourg City, Luxembourg Gare or Hesperange is diverted via the A4 motorway and the Leudelange-Nord interchange back to the Croix de Cessange in the direction of the Merl roundabout .

The preparatory work necessary for the closure of the A1 and A6 motorways will be carried out a few hours before the official closure times, therfore traffic disturbances are expected at the end of the afternoon. The main axis of the A6 and A1 motorways will be blocked from 20:00.
 
The total duration of the project is approximately 4 months (June to mid-September). From Monday 27 August 2018, motorway traffic will again be guided by narrowed roads through the work site. Traffic will again be operational on two lanes in both directions for the remainder of the project. In view of the narrowing of the lanes, vehicle speed is limited to 70 km/h in both directions.

Traffic disturbances are possible until the end of the project.
