The Ango bridge in Dieppe needs anti-corrosion treatment of its piers. This is what Ports de Normandie, the port facilities manager, announces. A construction site will soon start as part of the maintenance plan for the Dieppe lift bridge.
Work which will lead to the establishment of alternating traffic, regulated by traffic lights, from May 6 to 31, on the Quai du Carénage, between the Quai Trudaine and the Tourist Office.
Naval painting specialist
It is the company FPIN, specialist in naval and industrial painting, located on rue Charles-Blound in Dieppe, which will carry out this work on behalf of Ports de Normandie: execution study, stripping, scraping, stitching, degreasing, dust removal and waste treatment, implementation of anti-corrosion coating.
Ports de Normandie specifies that during its intervention, the company must “take all possible measures” so as not to harm the environment during the different phases of work. This construction site will not prevent the movement of pedestrians, who will benefit from secure access, nor that of vehicles whose circulation will be regulated by traffic lights.
“Ships will also be able to access the Duquesne Basin without difficulty and according to the usual slots”, underlines Ports of Normandy. The lock gates open 1 hour 45 minutes before high water and 1 hour 30 minutes after.
Commissioned in 1950
In service since 1950, the bridge was completely renovated in 2008. Its maneuvering cabin was designed by the Dieppe architect Georges Feray (1892-1965). But it is no longer used, since the bridge is now operated from a control room installed on the top floor of the Ports de Normandie building, quai du Carénage.
The structure usually supports a flow of around 9,000 vehicles per day.
