Question for our friends resident in France ref Rouen

[Barry]

Hows the bridge re build in Rouen going?
Will it be finished before the race?

[Fisherman]

Won't be finished until next September according to my man on the ground. Just to help things along the Rouen Armada is 6-16th June, looks like avoiding the place all together will be best

[Lorry]

My bet is that the Rouen Armada will be about as successful as the Spanish Armada

Think I'll go Le Havre and Pont de Tancaville

[Kpy]

Rouen Armada was 6-16 June 2013, there will not be another before 2018.
As far as the pont Mathilde is concerned, repair work only started in September this year. It's forecast as 50 weeks of work to completion, so it will still be closed for the races in June and July.

Thanks everyone for the info.

Went down to Normandy this weekend for a bit of museum time and a bit of a planning session for June. Haven't seen it logged here so figured worth reporting Pont Mathilde back in service with no problems. On way down there seems to be some diversion debris around the services near J11 but electronic display is off.
