Future road safety work in Forgebas, a busy hamlet in Saint-Aubin-les-Forges, was presented to residents. A project, voted on in 2022, which will finally come to fruition.
“I know this is a topic that is close to your heart! “. It was with these words that the mayor of Saint-Aubin-les-Forges, Bruno Verrain, welcomed the twenty people (almost all of whom lived in Forgebas) who came to attend the public meeting intended to present future security work. road of this very busy hamlet. Before adding: “This project, which was a priority for the municipal council, had been voted on in 2022, but the storm of that same year disrupted the schedule.”
The entire crossing in zone 30
The arrangements initially planned have been modified: no more chicanes which would entail excessively expensive costs of consolidating the edges of the road, threatened with subsidence under the weight of vehicles which shift with each passage. The project presented by Nièvre engineering now provides for the installation of three axial locks (at the two entrances and the third halfway) each equipped with a coated Berlin cushion.

The intersection will be redesigned, narrowed and two bus stops will be formalized with platforms and curbs, supplemented by a pedestrian path. The entire crossing of the hamlet will be in zone 30, but the priority given to the right of Rue du Chêne Babaud and the Impasse de la Vieille Manila remains to be discussed, the residents being divided.
If the system has been approved as a whole, one point seems to pose a problem: the bus stops (for which only one location is possible, according to Nièvre engineering) would hinder the parking of vehicles of nearby residents. For Bruno Verrain, the alternative is simple: “As soon as we undertake security work, bus stops are obligatory. So, either we do everything planned, or we do nothing! “. A way of posing the debate between general interest and particular interests…
The start of the work, the estimated estimated cost of which would be around €80,000, is scheduled for early 2025, after the end of the current network burying project.
