France to spend 110 million to save Mont St. Michel island
France will spend 110 million dollars to prevent Mont St. Michel from joining the mainland. The plan replaces part of the causeway with a low bridge and modifies a river dam to restore tidal flushing. Parking on the mainland for 3,300 cars and 100 buses will serve visitors while a cable car and underground parking support island workers. Construction starts in 1999 and finishes by early 2002.
