If the road is slippery, the “S” formed by the N928 – rue Émile Lessire, near the Dolomie quarry, is unforgiving. Three motorists have apparently paid the price since Friday evening. Others have slipped. It is the owner of the Stordoir farm who notifies the Walloon Region, responsible for this road.
“It is clearly only material damage and slippages, fortunately”, explains Philippe Vautard, mayor of Floreffe, at the end of the security debriefing meeting of the Esperanzah festival! “where everything is going well and where the weather is the most important news of this edition”.
No doubt it was the intermittent rain that caused this section to slip. “In any case, the police and firefighters have not received any request for intervention, continues the mayor. Warned of the situation, the public service of Wallonia and its road management first placed traffic lights, to slow down the situation on Friday evening. Despite this, the drivers were picking up speed following the bend. That did not solve the problem.”
Preventively and while waiting to understand why the road is slippery and how to remedy it, on Saturday followingnoon, it was announced that traffic in the direction of the descent (from Buzet to Floreffe) was interrupted. Then, following 4 p.m., two-way traffic was prohibited, except for local traffic. “The SPW told me that they were setting up a diversion from the roundregarding of the six arms of Bois-de-Villers, in collaboration with the municipal services. It will also be necessary to warn people downstream. That said, I I read on Facebook that some motorists coming from Floreffe had also slipped while approaching the climb. “
The inhabitants of this stretch of road, if they have to leave their homes, can leave via Sovimont, going up Tienne Jean-Pierre and going down rue Maurice Toussaint.
