Note that the reopening of the A 43 will be done with protective measures. Containers and sandbags will be placed at the piers of the affected bridge.
An impressive landslide
Remember that on Sunday August 27, a major landslide occurred in the commune of Saint-André, in La Praz, in Savoie. About 10,000 m3 of rocks slipped, 700 m3 of them hitting the protective screen in place at the edge of the A 43. Enough to cause heavy damage and interrupt traffic on this axis.
The RD 1006 was also affected and had to be closed between the RD 1006/RD 215 intersection and the Freney interchange. The traffic of vehicles over 3.5 tonnes was also interrupted in the Fréjus road tunnel, in both directions.
It remains to be seen how this will evolve. In the meantime, find the impressive images of this landslide below:
