Upcoming Road Closures and Maintenance in Marseille, Toulon, and La Ciotat for January 2026
Marseille will experience a series of nocturnal tunnel closures from January 12 to 16, affecting key routes such as Vieux-Port, Major, Joliette, and Saint-Charles tunnels due to scheduled maintenance. These closures, from 10:00 PM to 5:30 AM, aim to ensure infrastructure safety but may cause significant disruptions for drivers traveling along the coast and city center. On the same week, Toulon will undergo extensive nighttime maintenance on the A50, A57, and A8 motorways, including the closure of the Toulon tunnel and various interchange sections, with operations running from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. These works will involve detours via secondary roads, and authorities recommend drivers plan extra travel time and stay updated through official channels such as VINCI Autoroutes and local media. Additionally, traffic on the La Ciotat–Aubagne axis will be heavily impacted by a temporary nighttime closure for maintenance purposes, requiring motorists to leave the highway at La Ciotat and follow designated detours. These measures are part of ongoing infrastructure upkeep to maintain safety and operational efficiency across the region.
