the extent of the damage is “relatively considerable”, insists the vice-president of Finistère in charge of roads and infrastructure

The extent of the damage is “relatively considerable” insists Friday, November 3 on franceinfo Stéphane Le Doaré, vice-president of the Finistère department in charge of roads and infrastructure, after the passage of storm Ciaran during the night from Wednesday to Thursday.

“Currently, more than 160,000 Finisterians do not have access to electricity and many areas do not yet have drinking water, precisely because the electricity is not yet supplied”laments the one who is also mayor of Pont-l’Abbé, adding that “the situation is a little tense”.

Stéphane Le Doaré also recalls that many residents did not have and still do not have a telephone network since the passage of Ciaran, “which makes it difficult to coordinate interventions and report information”.

“Very worried” about the Domingos storm

Concerning the roads, while 70% of them have been able to reopen in Brittany, the priority is to “restore the main roads to irrigate all the points more quickly, and then gradually, we deploy the resources on the smallest roads“, explains the elected official. The latter congratulates himself, along with all the services.

“We worked pretty well, because when we see what we managed to do in 24-36 hours, with storms like those of 1999 or 1987, it would have taken three weeks to achieve the same result.”
