Work resumes on bridge project

Work will resume on the Condrieu – Les Roches-de-Condrieu bridge on Monday, November 2, after several weeks of preparation. The project aims to reinforce the bridge’s structure and ensure its long-term safety.

First phase involves scaffolding

The first phase of the construction will involve installing a scaffolding around the central pier of the bridge, an operation expected to take about three weeks. The scaffolding will stay in place for the duration of the project to allow for various interventions.

Equipment and materials are being prepared

Orders for specific equipment have already been placed, and the cables necessary for the bridge's safety are currently being manufactured. These cables will be essential for reinforcing the structure and ensuring its stability.

Transport and safety measures in place

The necessary equipment for the construction will be transported by road from the Condrieu side. During deliveries, an agent will be present to secure and accompany the passage of pedestrians and cyclists.

Diversion routes for motorists

For motorists, the diversion routes remain in effect. In the north-south direction, vehicles must take the RD386, then the RD1086 and RD7 in the Loire, before joining the RD37B and RD4 in Isère.

Reason for resuming work

The Rhône Department announced the resumption of the safety reinforcement work on the structure starting Monday, November 2, following the shutdown of a pipeline in September and technical studies that allowed the preparation of the installation of a cable system intended to strengthen the bridge.
