Large-scale works are taking place on the RD46a between Mont-Saint-Martin and Longlaville. The axis concerned starts from the roundabout giving access to the Maison de la formation to reach rue Jean-Jaurès. To remove the SNCF bridge located on a disused track, two enormous 300 and 400 ton cranes were put in place to crane the small 10 m span weighing about 30 tons and the main 32 m span. a weight of more than 100 tons. These two parts ran along the road bridge. The structure was a bridge with solid metal side girders.

€150,000 of works
The spans were then laid on the road so that they could be cut out for removal. These evacuation works, which began on Thursday, should last eight days. It is up to the company that carries out these operations to send them for recycling. Then, the wall and the SNCF fence will have to be rebuilt. Then, from July 18 to 29, the wearing course will be redone on the road bridge. About fifteen people were mobilized for these operations, the amount of which, entirely financed by the Departmental Council of Meurthe-et-Moselle, is €150,000. During these operations, a diversion is set up by the RD218a, the RD618 and rue Jean-Jaurès. Note that two security guards are present at night to monitor the site.

“Structural in poor condition”
“This work was programmed last year and budgeted for this year. This destruction will avoid maintaining this metal structure in poor condition and will save money in the short, medium and long term. It will no longer be necessary to carry out verification visits every three years”, emphasizes Freddy Cuzzy, head of the civil engineering service at the county council. The work, a relic of the steel industry, spanned the streets of Thionville and Prieuré. Other disused SNCF track bridges have already been destroyed in a more traditional way at Tiercelet and Bréhain-la-Ville.
