Everyone who borrows it regularly will have realized: aging, the cantonal road crossing Tramelan, which sees some 8,500 vehicles a day, requires a deep renovation. Communal sidewalks and underground networks also need to be refreshed, respectively replaced. For obvious logistical reasons, the canton and the municipality must coordinate their projects and work hand in hand.
More than an infrastructure project
But on the side of the municipal authorities, we wanted to seize the opportunity of cantonal work-which concern the section between the crossroads of the Grand-Rue with the rue de la Gare and that with the rue de l’Industrie-to push the reflection a little further, as it is true that Tramelan is looking for a real center for a long time.
“We do not just want to redo a road. We want to take advantage of making the heart of Tramelan more user -friendly, creating a real place of life and meetings, a center for all tramelots,” said the mayor of the locality, Hervé Gullotti. “This is an ambitious and complex project, because it concerns many actors and will have to reconcile divergent interests. It will undoubtedly shake up habits: mobility, in particular, must be redesigned for a new face to be given to Tramelan,” he supported.
On the side of the Ponts et Chaussée office, the manager for the Bernese Jura, Cédric Berberat, notes that there are cantonal road development standards. “But it is possible to go beyond if the municipality assumes funding,” he said.
For the time being, however, the precise contours of the project remain to be defined. “Today we are launching a study phase which must last until the end of the year. This phase, which aims to be participative, will allow us to develop a preliminary draft,” said the mayor.
