🔴 Safety information ➡️ Châteauneuf-sur-Charente / Cognac
An incident has occurred on the bridge between the towns of Triac and Jarnac: part of the structure recently collapsed. For safety reasons, this bridge is closed to cyclists until further notice.
Pending the implementation of corrective measures, users of La Flow Vélo are asked not to use this passage and to strictly follow the diversion route (alternative route) that has been put in place and is signposted.
We urge all cyclists to be vigilant and to respect the temporary signage to ensure their safety.
Thank you for your understanding.
