An 81-meter footbridge that spans the Bonaventure River in Saint-Alphonse is undergoing a very special repair these days. The damage is considerable on the Saint-Alphonse footbridge. Frequented by a large clientele, an indefinite closure would have been a disaster according to Sylvie Onraet of the Domaine des chutes-du-Ruisseau-Hollow: “The trails are there. The government is promoting the outdoors during this time. So, for us it's important that people have access to the trails. " But a spontaneous and voluntary intervention by Fabrication Delta allows the free reconstruction of the structure. A welcome help ... that avoids bureaucratic detours to the entire team of volunteers at the Domaine des chutes-du-Ruisseau-Hollow: “We would have started making requests… but that would have brought much longer delays. " Fabrication Delta preferred not to speak to the camera, but wanted to say that the gesture is altruistic: done with the happiness of the community in mind ... and also that of several employees who use this gateway regularly. In Saint-Alphonse, we can't say enough about the New Richmond-based construction company. “I must say thank you to the Delta manufacturing team who will do the work for free… Delta is asking us for a plate to indicate to the users that they are the ones who allowed the repair of the bridge.”, Tells us the mayor of the place. Built 23 years ago, the structure had been roughed up in recent years. But rarely so intensely, says Réjean Saint-Onge, Chairman of the Board of the Domaine des chutes-du-Ruisseau-Hollow: “Like that, yes! But this is not the first time that she's been brewed. " A closure would also have caused expectations and detours for snowmobilers in the region and elsewhere ... a winter economic source that cannot be slowed down, according to Denis Henry, president of the Mont-Carleton snowmobile club: “If there weren't for snowmobilers in the winter, there are a lot of businesses, hotels and restaurants that would be closed. " Snowmobilers, quad riders, those who practice cross-country skiing or hiking in the woods will be happy to hear that the news is excellent ... and we may have a surprise before the end of December, because construction is progressing quickly . For Réjean Saint-Onge, it is the passage of Father Christmas before the hour: “It’s a lovely Christmas present. It’s a very nice Christmas present! jean-guy MrGutz, zeusand, RoadRunner and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
