The Pont d'Acquitanne is closed from 2200 on Friday till 0400 on Monday next. probably adds about 25 minutes to journey times to Airport. Might have missed the finer detail - pilchard in a truck registered in Portugal was doing random lane changes at the time

Quite correct and the following weekend also. Unless the weather is bad in which case the work may be put back, presumably to the next weekend.

"Le Pont d’Aquitaine pourrait être complètement fermé ce week-end et le week-end prochain. La DDE de la Gironde a en effet prévu une fermeture totale du vendredi 12 septembre à 22 heures jusqu’au lundi 15 septembre à 4 heures (2 sens de circulation) et du vendredi 19 septembre à 22 heures jusqu’au lundi 22 septembre à 4 heures (2 sens de circulation), afin de procéder à la réfection des chaussées. Cependant, cette fermeture annoncée de longue date pourrait être reportée si les conditions météo (assez aléatoires ces derniers jours) ne se prêtent pas aux travaux. Pour faire simple : s’il pleut, le pont d’Aquitaine restera ouvert. On devrait en savoir plus vendredi."

You won't believe the detour to get back to Poitiers.

You have to know Bordeaux pretty well before it is worth trying to go through the centre even on a bike. The Pont de Piere has the trams running accross it and the trams control the traffic lights on the South bank, result lights are green only about 10 minutes an hour. Pont St Jean is better but just when you think you are on a nice wide dual carriageway, with no turnings and no pedestrians, the gendarmes are out a couple of days a week enforcing the 50 kph limit.
