Following the May 8, 1945 a temporary bridge is controlled. This is a wooden walkway which rests on piles driven into the riverbed. Despite building work and the obligation to reduce the load limit from 10 tons to 4 tons, the bridge is weakened quickly swept away by flood of June 1952.
Some time ago a report of the Board (see copy below) was not very optimistic about the life of the structure.
A new bridge in 1952
During the summer of 1952 a new bridge is in place. It is a prefabricated metal structure type "Bailey Bridge" named after the English engineer Sir Donald Bailey Cleman (click here for details) died in 1985 who had developed during the Second World War. The dam of Holy Cross got the better of the last bridge Garuby where it was customary for Sallois to come for a walk on Sunday. Ever gone it remains in the memory of children and grandchildren of rooms and a place in the new village is called "Place de Garuby"
