Here's the translated text:

According to area residents, the post is in the middle of the road for two months now.

To remove a curve that was dangerous, the road alignment has been revised. Obviously, the timing of construction of the Department of Transportation did not follow that of Hydro-Québec.

The spokesperson for Hydro-Québec, Ginette Cantin said it was surprised the situation has said that post would be moved this week. "We installed the new post last Thursday and Monday, staff will ensure to connect the new post son," she said.

"It is true that it may seem strange. They make schedules, timelines, but there may be delays, "says Regional Director of the Department of Transportation in the Eastern Townships, Gilles Bourque.

For now, to avoid the pole, the truck must travel in the opposite direction they are unable to pass on the right.

In the fall of 2011, a post Bell Canada found itself in the middle of a sidewalk. Work to correct the situation have been made ​​recently.
