Les engins de chantier ont pris possession des lieux à la sortie de Sète. MIDI LIBRE – PHILIPPE MALRIC

Situé au milieu de l’avenue Martelli, ce nouvel accès au port de Sète permettra, en 2025, de désengorger le trafic routier, place Mangeot près du pont de la Victoire.

May those who often complain at dawn when they come across a jam of vans, parked in bulk around Place Mangeot waiting for the parking lot to open for board the ferry, hold on. This situation at the entrance to the port of Sète should only last for another year.

A project announced in 2015

The first sod has, in fact, been given as part of the creation of new access to the port enclosure, particularly for the ferry public . This entrance will be located in the middle of Avenue Gilbert-Martelli in place of the old car wash and a used car seller. It was in 2015 that the EPR Port Sud de France announced this project related to the construction of the new ferry terminal. It was to be completed in 2019. Then postponed, before being "re-examined"by the services of the Region. In short, she's not here right away.

Request for co-financing

The fact remains that the new access has remained in the pipeline. "I hope for 2025, slips Olivier Carmes, the port director, it will open up the & rsquo;entrance to place Mangeot". "To begin the work, we waited until the end of the winter break so that the couple who were squatting there left voluntarily", specifies, for his part, Sébastien Denaja. And the regional advisor continued: "we are going to ask for co-financing from the City of Sète and the Agglo because this new path interests them in the sense where it will change a lot of things in terms of road traffic around Place Mangeot". Motorists who regularly use this area of ​​the city are keeping their fingers crossed.
