Around €10 million while waiting for more exact figures. This is what the floods of October 17 and 18 will cost, according to the first estimates currently being clarified, to the Department of the Loire, on its assets alone – mainly road in this case. The departmental roads largely transferred to Métropole in the south Loire, it is mainly the Pilat connection roads which have been impacted. And severely impacted as we explained to you in this article. This fall, the community assembly voted – in two stages: November 18 and December 2 – a total of €6 million to finance the most urgent repair work launched well before these decisions. This Wednesday, the Department is able to announce the reopening, tomorrow, Thursday, December 19, of departmental road 503 between Lupé and Saint-Pierre-de-Bœuf.
For the RD7, it will still be a long time
“Particularly impacted, the RD7 and RD503 which connect the Pilat foothills (in particular the Pélussin, Roisey, Véranne and Maclas sectors) had to be cut off to traffic. (…) The roadway was all or partly collapsed on two sections (Lieu-dit La Vauvignière and east of Malleval) and the shoulders had been washed away by the Batalon flood for nearly 3 km. The material and human resources of the Pélussin departmental roads operations center were mobilized for the reconstruction of the shoulders while the earthworks and reconstruction of the embankments and the roadway were entrusted to the Montagnier company, based in Pélussin. . The cost of the work amounts to €300,000. » The reopening of the RD503 this Thursday, December 19 at 10 a.m. will therefore make it possible to find a more direct and more secure connection between the municipalities of Pilat and the Rhône valley.
On the other hand, for the RD7, it’s not yet that: “The Chorieux bridge over the Valencize was partly destroyed and the reconstruction work will be long and complicated. » RD22 in Saint-Sauveur en Rue, RD1082 in La Versanne, RD34 in Pélussin or even RD503 on other sections, studies and work continue. The Department is careful not to specify a timetable, even an estimated one, for reopening.
