Traffic severely disrupted after the fall of an electric cable on the RN88 in Aveyron

This Wednesday, November 27, severe slowdowns disrupted traffic on the RN88, near Montrozier, in Aveyron.

Shortly after 3 p.m., an electric cable, probably weakened by recent winds, was torn off when a heavy truck passed by before collapsing on the road, near the place called Plaisance and near the Jardin des Bêtes, according to our colleagues from Center Presse Aveyron.

The firefighters, quickly mobilized, secured the surroundings while awaiting the intervention of Enedis. Traffic was immediately diverted to allow technical teams to repair the installations. According to the authorities, the intervention was to be completed and the diversion lifted around 7 p.m.

This incident caused significant delays on this busy route, forcing motorists to take bypass routes. No injuries were reported, but this event once again highlights the vulnerability of infrastructure in the event of bad weather.
