The western highway is once again running normally.
After 36 hours of closure, the Boulonnaise portion of the A13, closed since Sunday evening, reopened Tuesday morning.
Sunday evening, several thousand motorists were stranded on the A13 motorway which connects the capital to Normandy because of a theft of three hundred meters of electric cables.

The theft at the origin of this closure, which lasted 36 hours, was committed this weekend in a technical room of the Direction des routes d'Île-de-France (DIRIF), located in Boulogne-Billancourt.
These cables supplied smoke extraction fans from the Ambroise-Paré tunnel which plunges under the Boulogne hospital of the same name.
It is the non-functioning of these fans, mandatory since 1999 and the fire in the Mont-Blanc tunnel, which forced the closure of the tunnel, but also that of Saint-Cloud, located a little further, as well as the portion of the motorway that linked the two tunnels.
The accident, which occurred on a Sunday evening during the school vacation, paralyzed thousands of motorists.
The A13 sees nearly 50,000 vehicles rolling on its asphalt per day, in each direction.
