The main works will start in 2024 on the territory of Artois and Cambrésis after obtaining the environmental authorization.
What works are carried out?
In Ytres, Ruyaulcourt, Hermies and Oisy-le-Verger, work prior to the construction of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal is continuing and preventive archeology operations are being carried out in order to ensure knowledge and even the preservation of potentially
present in the soil.
How do they take place?
Firstly, areas of around 10 meters wide located along the Canal route are partially deforested. These operations are supervised by an ecologist and carried out during periods of wildlife inactivity in order to preserve it. This stage of the work is essential to allow archaeologists to then carry out their diagnostics.
How long will the work take*?
Preparatory work begins on March 4 and should last a week in the municipalities of Ruyaulcourt and Hermies.
They take place during working hours of the week and have no impact on traffic.
* Subject to weather conditions and site hazards.
Did you know?
The construction of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal is part of the ERC (avoid-reduce-compensate) approach which frames the project by taking into account the impacts on fauna and flora. 240 hectares of compensatory developments (wetlands, woodlands, ponds, hedges, etc.) are planned in Artois-Cambrésis.
Beyond ecological equivalence, these developments ultimately aim to increase biodiversity in the territory. The details of this program, developed in consultation with local stakeholders, are presented and available for consultation online as part of the Public Environmental Inquiry of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal between Passel and Aubencheul-au-Bac, which takes place from March 04 as of April 02, 2024.
Preservation of biodiversity and water resources, respect for the identity of landscapes: find now the environmental commitments of the Canal.

Added December 12, 2023 - Updated December 27, 2023
What works are carried out?
As part of the construction of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, more than 1100 hectares of plantations and environmental developments will be carried out. They will make it possible to offset the impacts of the project on the environment and promote the development of biodiversity in the region.
In Oisy-le-Verger, the work aims to create a pond and restore a megaphorbia (wet area populated with large perennial grasses that can reach several meters in height).
How do they take place?
During the construction period, excavated earth evacuation trucks will circulate:

What works are carried out?
As part of the construction of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, more than 1100 hectares of plantations and environmental developments will be carried out. They will make it possible to compensate for the impacts of the project on the environment and to promote the development of biodiversity in the territory.
In Aubigny-au-Bac, the main work aims to create a pond and restore a wet meadow.
How do they take place?
The operations take place in the wooded plot located in the environment close to the Canal de la Sensée. They consist of carrying out earthworks as well as plantations. During the construction period, excavated earth evacuation trucks will circulate on the towpath and the RD643. They will have no major impact on the roads in the area.
How long will the work take*?
The work is planned between October 9 and November 1, 2023.
* Subject to weather conditions and site hazards.
