In 2009, the current was already causing us a problem. So we no longer have an ice bridge in Saint-Ours.
We had an effective ice bridge in Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu, which is the neighbouring village of Saint-Ours. It was very well managed. The Quebec department of transport even authorized it. However, frost and thaw cycles and ice melting too quickly, sometimes within three days, have made the situation dangerous. It was at that point that we abandoned that winter infrastructure.
