The A750 motorway, the section of motorway between the A 75 motorway and the metropolis of Montpellier, is closed in both directions this Friday afternoon, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., near Juvignac . The presence of very many wild boars on this stretch of road led to this decision by the Hérault prefecture, announced urgently around 1 p.m. on social networks.
From Montpellier, in the Montpellier Clermont direction, exit number 5 is mandatory for motorists. In the other direction, from Gignac, it is compulsory at interchange number 7. Traffic is expected to be heavy this Friday, as the winter holidays begin in zone C, that of Montpellier, with the start of of a crossover.
The proliferation of wild boars in question
Wild boars were the cause of two accidents in the morning on the highway, leading to this decision by the prefecture. These animals proliferate in an uncontrolled way in the department of Hérault, as in those neighboring Gard and Pyrénées-Orientales, in particular.
