Some works begin this weekend, others will start Monday. In any case, best avoid certain areas that will either be closed completely, or just plain tricky to navigate.

• from Sunday 27 October at 12 noon until Monday 28 October at 5 am: complete closing of the Route d’Arlon on the stretch between the Place de l’Etoile and the square de New York.
