The CAPI began the reconstruction of the Port de l’Isle bridge in L'Isle-d'Abeau on August 3, 2026, leading to its complete closure until late January 2027.

The reconstruction works for the Port de l’Isle bridge, located near the municipal technical center towards Frontonas, started on August 3, 2026. The objective is to ensure user safety and the bridge's long-term durability.
Initially scheduled to finish in November 2026, these works have been postponed to late January 2027 due to technical difficulties encountered on site.
A detour is in place for both directions of traffic, using Boulevard de Ronsonne, Boulevard de l’Arbonnas, Avenue du Bourg, Avenue du Stade, RD 208A, and RD 163. Information signs are installed to guide users.
These works are necessary as the bridge is in an advanced state of degradation, with significant damage noted on the deck beams and retaining walls.
Currently limited to vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, the future bridge will accommodate all vehicles authorized by the Highway Code, including heavy goods vehicles.
