The Seine-Nord Europe Canal Company has awarded the contract for the initial main works in Sector 1, located between Compiègne and Passel. The contract was awarded to the NORD CONFLUENCES consortium , composed of nine medium-sized enterprises or SMEs, two of which are located in the Hauts-de-France region. The contract is expected to be completed within 26 months and is worth approximately €60 million excluding VAT.

The work planned in the contract

The contract includes three types of work:

  • A new road in Pimprez with a crossing du Canal creating a link between the RD 40 and the RD 932, thus completing the Ribécourt bypass
  • Three new bridges on the RD 66 between Montmacq and Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt successively spanning the Rescindée Oise, the Seine-Nord Europe Canal and the Oise side canal. The two existing bridges over the Oise side canal and the natural Oise will be deconstructed.

  • The displacement of the Oise river : to free up the necessary space for the Seine-Nord Europe Canal between Thourotte and Montmacq, the course of the Oise must be moved eastward. The work to create the new river bed will last 24 months.
    • a section of 650 m downstream, southwest of Montmacq
    • a 2,9 km section between the bridge of the Thourotte – Montmacq municipal road and that of the RD 66 north of Montmacq
  • Two hydraulic structures :
    • a spillway between the new bed of the Oise and the future Canal to contribute to the fight against flooding
    • a buried siphon to pass the Moulinet stream

This work will begin in September 2022.

 

Alongside this work, environmental improvements will resume from mid-September at several sites in the Oise and Verse valleys (Chiry-Ourscamp, Pimprez, Morlincourt, Appilly, Beaurains-lès-Noyon), including the creation of wetlands. These improvements, covering 165 hectares, began last winter and are part of a program of nearly 400 hectares of environmental compensation measures planned in accordance with the environmental permit for sector 1 issued by the State on April 8, 2021.

A system closer to local residents

To support these works, the Seine-Nord Europe Canal Company meets with local residents and users of the area regularly, and has set up an information and listening system.

Thus, the SCSNE teams are organizing a series of 4 meetings dedicated to the inhabitants of the municipalities concerned by this work:

  • Pimp on Thursday, June 23 from 18:30 p.m.
  • Montmacq on Tuesday June 28 from 18:30 p.m.
  • Ribécourt-Dreslincourt on Thursday June 30 from 18 p.m.
  • Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt on Thursday July 7 from 18 p.m.

A newsletter for residents of the Compiègne and Noyon areas is also regularly distributed to their mailboxes to keep them informed of the progress of the construction work near their homes. A special issue dedicated to these works will be distributed in early July.
