Corine Descampe, the owner of Que du bonheur restaurant in Compton, shares her struggles due to ongoing construction on Route 147. The blocked road has severely limited access to her business, impacting even local residents.
Descampe estimates a 70% drop in revenue, as her restaurant is in the most affected area. Despite her efforts to attract customers, she has found no effective strategies. She reached out to the Mayor of Compton for assistance but received no practical solutions.
The upcoming vacation period in Quebec could further delay the project, complicating the situation. Descampe was not adequately informed about the construction beforehand and anticipates delays beyond the September 30th completion date.
Having already faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, she remains hopeful and resilient, determined to persevere through this difficult period.
