Closure of the Route de Meyrin as of 11 February 2008

In the framework of the work on the new Cornavin-Meyrin-CERN tramline, an underpass is to be cut into the hill of Meyrin village where the Route de Meyrin meets the Avenue de Vaudagne and the Avenue Virginio-Malnati. As a result, the Route de Meyrin will be closed to through traffic for a period of two years, starting on Monday 11 February 2008.

The following traffic diversions will be in operation:

  • Traffic travelling in the Geneva-France direction will be diverted along the Avenue de Mategnin and the Avenue Louis-Rendu or the Route du Nant-d’Avril and the Route du Mandement,
  • Traffic travelling in the France-Geneva direction will be diverted along the Route du Mandement and the Route du Nant-d’Avril.

There will also be special diversion routes in the centre of Meyrin reserved for access to shops, houses and flats and the La Tour hospital.
