The memory remains vivid. Monday March 18, 2024, during the afternoon, in Cévennes in Gard, the Chamborigaud bridgeallowing crossing the Luech, collapsed. A temporary bridge quickly saw the light of day thanks to the responsiveness of decision-makers and road officials from the Department, in order to maintain traffic and open up the area. “ The Chamborigaud bridge will soon be operational,” announced Françoise Laurent-Perrigot, president of the Gard Departmental Council, during the vote on the community's budget last Friday.
37 concrete slabs, 36 m³ of concrete
Several major stages have been accomplished regarding the reconstruction of the Chamborigaud bridge, at the end of 2024. The metal frame as well as the metal sleepers have been put in place. The welding of the spacers and the concreting of the transition slabs were carried out, 37 concrete slabs, each weighing 15 tonnes, were installed. 36 m³ of concrete were poured for the keying sections.
-Major milestones
“All work is carefully coordinated by the roads services and the Departmental Council road laboratory. The companies working on the site are rigorously controlled to ensure the quality and safety of the reconstruction,” indicates the communications department of the Gard Departmental Council.
