Rouen bypass avoiding low underpasses

[Chris]

I am completely mystified never had a problem never seen a tunnel /low bridge? just set the tom tom to brezolles and away we go done this at least ten times? :thumb:

It was just the once for us. I think there was a diversion and we couldn't follow the sat nav. We were driving around narrow side streets in Rouen and then saw some sign posts for the main road which we followed. If I recall the right hand lane took you through the tunnel and the left hand lane took you over the top of it. At the point we hit the barrier you couldn't change lanes as the lanes were divided by a concrete wall.oh:

We laugh about it now. We were lucky I think it cost about £100 for the new skylight.

Here is the route we use to miss out Rouen. All good roads and no tolls and we have used it many times.
It follows the East side of the river and drops you on the A154 missing out all the industrial sites of Rouen and from there choose your route South.

It's also quicker because you don't get lost.

An excellent suggestion I have used it many times myself, but very easy to miss the off junction coming down the hill into Roen southbound, follow airport signs, coming north it seems slightly more logical, but well worth trying. David

We always go Keith's way, and we've been doing that jointly and severally since 1976 !

Didn't have motoways in France then!

It is the way that goes 'past railway sidings' as someone else said - and in fact you used to go across a level crossing along there, where there was an absolutely ancient bar at the side of it, with a brick gable end on which there was a painted Stella Actatwat advert - was GUTTED when they demolished that the other year.

After you go round the RH bend, you come to the island with the moo cows on it and then over that (well, around it lOL) and up a dual carriageway.

I look forward to receiving your apology for being so bloody rude.

D6015 northeast side of the river I think it's 3 underpasses about 2m high last one heading north is OK at 4m. Satnav always tries to take you down then but you would have to be a right prat to follow it.
Chris knows all about them.
