Description of solution

Summary (Challenges; Objectives)

Mountain road infrastructure is highly vulnerable to natural risks induced by climate change. The objective of the SECURUS project is to guarantee road safety against natural risks on the Bielsa–Aragnouet (Lannemazan–Aínsa) and Espacio Portalet (Laruns–Biescas) road links.

Following a first phase (SECURUS 1), the SECURUS 2 project continues to make progress in protecting the Bielsa-Aragnouet (Lannemazan-Aínsa) and Espacio Portalet (Laruns-Biescas) roadways so as to guarantee road user safety against natural risks. These road links require that stakeholders monitor and react to recurring natural risks by taking actions which go beyond geographical and administrative borders and involve greater coordination of human resources and bi-national materials.

Technical characteristics

Protection against landslide and erosion risk in mountain passes and along roads, within a specifically identified area. Installation of several rows of snow retention barriers on the mountain , and the extension of an avalanche retention basin
