STORYLINE:
The discovery of a huge, unexploded World War II-era bomb caused transportation chaos in Paris on Friday as bomb-disposal experts worked to make the half-ton explosive safe.
The cascade of transport woes spread from the rail to the road network, with Paris police announcing the closure of the A1 highway and sections of the capital’s always-busy ring road around the city.
Eurostar, operator of sleek high-speed trains through the Channel Tunnel that links England with the European continent, announced the cancellation of all its services to and from its Paris hub at Gare du Nord, France’s busiest rail station, the U.K. and Belgian capitals.
Travel plans were thrown into disarray.
At London’s St. Pancras station, Eurostar’s London hub, travelers scrambled for alternatives.
Passengers were advised to try taking trains to Lille in northern France, or fly to Paris.
