Road closures and no-parking zones

On the eve and the day of the Pope's visit, the major boulevards located in the city centre – Boulevard Royal, Avenue Marie-Thérèse and Boulevard F.D. Roosevelt – will be closed to private traffic, except for pedestrians. This also applies to the Gare district, where prohibitions will be in force notably on the Bourbon Plateau. In addition, there will be changes to parking in public spaces. These changes apply mainly to the same major thoroughfares where there will be changes to traffic flow. They will be put in place by City of Luxembourg staff as needed and in chronological order, as detailed in the map below.

The Service Circulation (Traffic Department) will ensure proper signage is provided on all affected routes.

The City recommends that residents and workers in the affected areas check all information ahead of time and plan around the restrictions.
