Iron sculpture 'Connections' by Edelbert W. Bregy, Brig Railway Station

In September 1993, several weeks of sustained precipitation were followed by three days of very intense precipitation, which led to the Saltina in Brig overflowing its banks on September 24th. In retrospect, the meteorologists determined that no major precipitation and runoff values had been measured in the Saltina catchment area during the entire 20th century.
Damage incurred
The flooding left behind meter high sand and debris on streets, squares and in buildings. Two women lost their lives. Damage balance of the storm in the Upper Valais area: over CHF 650 million.
The bottleneck of the river course was right in the center: debris and driftwood accumulated at the bridge in Brig-Glis and led to a blockage. The Saltina overflowed its banks and deposited meters of mud and rubble in the center of the village.
Activities
The measures taken afterwards consisted of the construction of two bed load chambers in the catchment area of the stream, the elevation of the bank walls on the canal and, as a core element, the construction of an automatic lift bridge at the neuralgic point in Brig-Glis.
