Autoroute 55 Closed

[iceman]

Forgot to post up this action

taken out by non maintained culvert 

closed for at least a month they say. 
 

Near St Etienne 

Before Shawinigan

It all started like this

its 45 feet deep to the stream bed.

traffic is out of control. And school starts tomorrow so gonna be even busier. Crazy.

10 minute ride is 2 hours depending on time of day north or south. Detour is long.
 

Not that urgent as only working day shift. No 24hr emergency or anything silly like that.

They went to 24hrs working nonstop since last friday. 
almost ready for the asphalt. They had no choice but to get it done. Traffic was reeking havoc on the detours.

That was quite impressive getting it done that quickly. Good management for a change

Get them working on the LaCache to Murdockville bridge next!

Or have they not greased enough palms yet for that to move forward.....
