  • Construction of 2 bridges: one 57m above the RN39, the other 21m above the railway
  • Use of a new slope stabilization method, the patented ATALUS system, with a license granted to EGMF for the site. The Atalus system makes it possible to have a slope at 71° instead of the conventional 27° (2/1), which considerably reduces expropriations.
