On the A40

On the A40, in the Ain, the situation is being normalized. The “castaways” of this Tuesday evening, January 12, resumed their journey this morning.

However, snowfall in the Ain calls for caution on the A40. The driving conditions are delicate, the treatment is in progress. Traffic jams were formed in the direction of Geneva, according to a communication from Bison futé at 6:48 am this Wednesday, January 13.

“On the A40, in the direction of Geneva, due to significant traffic difficulties, users of the Lyon region are required, but also of the A6 and A39 heading towards Geneva or Haute Savoie, to avoid this area.

For that, coming from Mâcon or Dole, you have to join Lyon then Chambéry by the A43 and then follow the direction Geneva to join the A40 near Bonneville.

For Geneva, this route generates a lengthening of around 100 km from Mâcon and an additional toll cost; from Bourg-en Bresse an extension of 130km and an additional toll cost. Coming from the South of France or Lyon, from the eastern bypass, you must join Chambéry by the A43 then follow the direction of Geneva.

This route has a journey time that is substantially identical to that of the A40. ”
