Double Deck, safety comes first

This week, a key phase of the project will begin with the concrete pouring, marking the start of the construction of the new building’s structure. This stage will result in increased lorry traffic along with designated waiting areas being created in the immediate vicinity of the MED and in the direction of route des Noyerettes.
We would like to thank you for respecting the signage in place, using the indicated alternative routes and for taking increased care when crossing route des Noyerettes.
For safety reasons, we would like to remind you that this area is strictly off-limits to the public (pedestrians, cyclists, joggers). Despite the existing signage, people continue to cross the site, which exposes them to significant risks.
There is a gate-protected passage alongside the MED: it is reserved exclusively for evacuation in the event of a fire and must not be used under any circumstances in normal situations.
We would like to thank you for respecting the signage in place, using the indicated alternative routes and for taking increased care when crossing route des Noyerettes.
