During september and october, you  may have seen traffic regulations on the structure. And for a very good reason : from August 30 to October 12, the surface layer got a makeover !   In total, around 4600 tons of surface layer have been set up. Plenty of phases have taken turns to achieve this result : planing, blasting and shot-peening, to rejuvenate the deck.
