In Marseille: 20 hours to deconstruct the Bourrely bridge over the A7 motorway

At the end of April, our Demcy teams managed a major project for the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis: the deconstruction of the Bourrely bridge, which spanned the A7 motorway.

While the overall operation lasted a month, the most critical phase took place during the weekend of April 17th and 18th. The objective was to clear this strategic route and reopen the lanes as quickly as possible, while ensuring complete safety.

The project in numbers:

  • 50 people mobilized on-site
  • 20 heavy machines operating simultaneously
  • 20 hours of non-stop work

True to our eco-responsible commitments, the materials from the old bridge were transported to a dedicated platform to be screened and crushed. They will soon be given a second life!

Congratulations to the teams for this collective achievement and their perfect synergy on the ground
