Route 148 à Luskville

28 juin 2011 Le Droit LOUIS-DENIS EBACHER ldebacher@ledroit.com

Six semaines pour réparer la route 148

Le ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) prévoit six semaines de travaux pour réparer la route 148 à Luskville, complètement défoncée à la suite des importantes averses de la fin de semaine. Le glissement de terrain a créé un trou de 3,6 m de diamètre et d’une profondeur de près de 20 m, emportant avec lui un morceau de la route 148. Aucune circulation n’y sera permise jusqu’à la fin des travaux. Un détour de 3 km, via les rues Parker, McKibbon et Curley, a été prévu afin de permettre aux automobilistes de passer de l’autre côté de la 148.

More on highway closure

Further to Kate's post below, this is what the Route 148 washout looked like on Saturday afternoon:

Washout on Hwy 148 at Therrien Rd after heavy storm on June 24, 2011.

It looks like a beaver dam in Gatineau Park burst to create a sudden surge of water that was too much for the culvert.

The Eardley-Masham road was still open at 14:30, but quite deep water was flowing over the pavement at the Masham end. Vehicles with good clearance could make it through, but a small car might have trouble.

Water flowing over Eardley-Masham Road on N side of Gatineau Park.

When we returned later from Wakefield, the road was closed at the bridge in Masham, and vehicles were being detoured through Lac Des Loups.

Highway 148 closed, difficult detour in place

I don't know what else has happened to our dearly beleagured highway this week, but the heavy rains on June 23rd and 24th have completely decimated the culvert and bridge at the intersection of the 148 and Ch. Therrien in Luskville, past St. Luke's on the hill from the east, and just past Nugents machinery depot from the west.
There is now a 30 foot deep gap where the road used to be, and that's not something that's going to be fixed overnight, I can tell you.
To re route traffic, there is a detour set up along the very muddy narrow and twisting Parker Rd, leading to the tiny McKibbon, leading back to the highway up poor old Ch. Curley, where the Depanneur Pontiac is. People, please give yourselves a LOT more time to get around this difficult situation.
Those in cars and small vans, please slow down!
Those driving trucks and busses, pulling boats or trailers, you guys are in trouble.
Those on bikes, forget it.

Good luck.
