Supplementary budget for the paravalanche barrier in Taconnaz It has been announced that work at the paravalanche construction site at Taconnaz will resume soon, and a meeting has given an update on the progress of the barrier. From these new studies, it appears that the protection on the left bank (ie the sector Bechar Les Houches) is not enough, and the height of the embankment needs to be increased from 7 to 10 metres. The "community of communes" of the Chamonix Valley will now require a supplementary budget of 300,000 euros for this summer's work, to raise the front of the existing embankment by 6 metres. Total cost: 600,000 euros. The case will be decided in May or June. Radio Mont Blanc
