This morning, the Alpes-Maritimes wake up under a sky heavy with precipitation, making travel on the roads particularly tricky. Between the risks of landslides, falling trees and rough seas, it is crucial to remain vigilant. During outings, caution is therefore essential to avoid the inconveniences caused by tumultuous weather conditions, which disrupt many traffic routes. Let’s take stock of the road situation in this beautiful region where nature can sometimes be capricious.

This morning, the road situation in the Alpes-Maritimes is particularly concerning. With a significant number of disruptive weather events, road users must remain alert to the risks of landslides, falling trees, and rough seas. Recent information reports several closed roads and necessary detours to avoid these dangers. Here is a detailed overview of the road situation in this region.

On the coastal area

In Menton, the seaside road has been temporarily closed to traffic at 3:11 AM due to a rough sea. Security services managed the situation effectively and the road was reopened at 7:12 AM. However, conditions can change rapidly and it is advisable to stay informed.

In Saint-Paul-de-Vence, traffic has been blocked since 3:18 AM due to the falling of a tree between the village and the town of Vence on RD 2. The reopening of this road remains uncertain, which could affect many journeys.

In the area of Nice, another serious situation is reported. The road along the Var, which connects Nice airport to the A8, has been closed since Wednesday at 11:12 PM due to a flood risk. Users are urged to take the diversions in place via RM 6098 and RM 6202.

Finally, in Saint-Blaise, RM 14 has been closed since April 1, 2024, due to a landslide. The progress of the works will be crucial for the reopening of this road.

In the Roya

Regarding Saint-Dalmas-de-Tende, RD 91 has been closed to traffic since October 9, 2024, at 5:45 PM due to a detected flood risk. No diversion is proposed, and this closure could last several more days, making the situation critical for residents and visitors.

In Tende, RD 6204, accessible via the Tunnel de Tende, has been closed since October 2, 2020, due to the partial destruction of the roadway. This prolonged interruption raises concerns about user safety.

In the Paillon sector

In Lucéram, the situation is worrying; a tree has fallen on RD 21 and blocks the road since 3:00 AM this October 10, 2024. Authorities have not yet provided an estimated duration for this closure, which significantly complicates travel in this area.

In the Grassois region

The municipality of Tourrettes-sur-Loup is also facing serious disruptions. A landslide has caused the closure of RD 6, necessitating a detour via RD 7 through Châteauneuf-de-Grasse, to secure travel for residents and travelers.

In the Tinée

In a recent situation, heavy rainfall has led to a significant landslide on the road between Isola and Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée. Although RM 2205 was reopened to traffic at 7:32 AM, users must remain vigilant for signs of new slides.
