Following heavy rainfall recorded in the last 24 hours, sensors monitoring a building have reported a deterioration of its condition. As a precautionary measure and based on the judicial expert's decision, the City of Aix-en-Provence has therefore decided to re-close Rue Pierre et Marie Curie to traffic.
This street had previously been closed at the request of the judicial expert due to the risk posed by the building. Owners had then undertaken structural reinforcement work, allowing the street to reopen after initial investigations and the lifting of the urgent safety order.
The installation of connected sensors was part of the implemented safety measures to ensure continuous monitoring. The deterioration of the building's condition, signaled by these sensors, could be linked to the weather, but this connection will need to be confirmed by technical expertise.
New expert assessments are currently underway to precisely evaluate the building's condition and determine complementary safety measures. The City's absolute priority remains the safety of residents and users.
The street will remain closed to traffic until safety conditions allow for its reopening.
