The Roads Authority has announced that roadworks will be carried out this weekend on the A3 motorway in Luxembourg between the Gasperich Cross and the Bettembourg Cross.

These works form part of the construction of a new railway line between Luxembourg and Bettembourg, as well as maintenance work, and will see the following road closures from 20:00 on Friday 25 October until 06:00 on Monday 28 October 2019: the A3 motorway between the Bettembourg Cross and the Gasperich Cross from the Franco-Luxembourgish border and towards the A6 and A1 motorways; the slip roads at the Bettembourg cross from the A13 and towards the Gasperich Cross on the A3; the slip road at the Livange interchange from the N31 and towards the Gasperich Cross on the A3.

In addition, from around 22:00 on Friday 25 October until 06:00 on Monday 28 October 2019, the following roads will be closed to traffic: the A3 motorway between the Gasperich Cross and the Bettembourg Cross from Gluck roundabout and towards the Bettembourg Cross; the slip roads at the Gasperich Cross from the A1 and A6 motorways and towards the Bettembourg Cross on the A3; the slip road at the Livange interchange from the N31 and towards the Bettembourg Cross on the A3.

For the duration of these works, traffic on the A3 between the Bettembourg Cross and the Gasperich Cross (both directions) will be diverted via the A13, A4 and A6 motorways.

Furthermore, access to the "Shell" petrol station in the Berchem area will be blocked from 18:00 on Friday evening until 06:00 on Monday morning. Similarly, access to the "Aral" petrol station in Berchen will be blocked from 20:00 on Friday until 06:00 on Monday. 

Since the preparatory work necessary for the closure of the motorway will be carried out a few hours beforehand on Friday, traffic disruptions are to be expected in the late afternoon.
