No more precise timetable for a partial reopening is indicated in the available information, beyond the end-of-August 2027 deadline. This restriction is announced for nine months, while reopening is not scheduled until the end of August 2027. This municipality of about 1,700 residents is preparing for a long interruption of one of its traffic routes.

Residents fear being cut off from everything and everyone, as the usual passage between the two parts of the village is no longer assured.

In this small village, the simultaneous closure to vehicles, two-wheelers and pedestrians focuses concerns on everyday travel.

The ban is not limited to cars: it also applies to two-wheelers and pedestrians.

To link the north and south of the town, the detour will be about 7 kilometers, according to reports citing BFMTV. According to the elements of the report, the municipality is thus divided in two for the duration of the works.
