On Thursday January 8, from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. the following day, roundabout no. 3 will be completely closed to traffic.
On Saturday January 10, from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m., a partial closure is planned on the axis linking the crossroads towards Tunis.
During this period, road users will be able to temporarily use the new bridge and access El Mourouj 2 via the temporary lane set up for this purpose.
