Clearly, things are moving in terms of work in Millau, in the south of Aveyron ! If the Sablons district is set to become a green lung of the municipalityother places are also affected by large-scale developments in the city center.
Thus, from Monday, November 4, road repair work will begin on Ayrolle Boulevardfor one month, with the installation of a noise-proof covering. This step comes after a first phase of replacement of drinking water pipes, at the beginning of 2024.
In parallel, Liberty Street has a new look with more space given to pedestrians and a secure forecourt for the Jules-Ferry school. With these two projects, the City intends to offer these residents, passers-by and traders, a more pleasant living environment.
Occitanie News made on these two sites in detail. With its consequences on traffic and transport…
A sound coating on Boulevard de l'Ayrolle
In a few weeks, thee boulevard de l'Ayrolle will be much more pleasant for local residents, pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. The roadway on this heavily used route is damaged.
“Natural” wear, since the last work dates back to 1996 on the lower part and 2014 on the upper part. But also “premature” wear, following the repair work on all the water pipes, carried out at the start of the year.
Its overhaul will therefore be initiated, from November 4 to 28, 2024between Place Bompaire and Rue de la Liberté with the reinforcement of the roadway and the repair of the wearing course. A soundproof, noise-reducing coating, adapted to the reality of traffic, will reduce vehicle noise and halve the perception of noise.
At the Saint-Martin crossing, a crossing platform will also be installed to encourage people to drive more slowly and fit more easily into the traffic on the boulevard.
This is an in-depth renovation since the Sévigné company will plan the roadway to 18 cm before reconstituting a hot mix. This project is intended to be an investment for the future: in 15 or 20 years, it will be enough to “rebuild only the wearing course”, welcomes the municipality in a press release. The cost of the operation is from 260 000 euros.
The project was presented to local residents on Thursday October 24:
It’s a real community effort, but it’s an investment for the future. Improving the living environment of residents is the priority, also including securing water resources and sharing the road more harmoniously to live better together.
Work schedule revealed
The work will be carried out in two slices, from November 4 to 28:
- From Place Bompaire, to Gap Saint-Martin;
- From the Saint-Martin hole, to the rue de la Liberté.
