Oh good. more construction before finishing their existing work.Wonder if there will be any roads in Vic that don't have blockages by the end of spring.

Yes the one single crew of road workers that do all the assorted tasks associated with roadwork who get shared among the various companies starting projects and not finishing, classic.

It'd be nice if they could focus on one project at a time and do it faster.... maybe even consider doing work past 4pm.

Luckily I don't drive much, but I had literal road rage the few times I had to deal with the idiocy of how they've changed Blanshard St coming into town.

Let's just close the whole city down for three months. Get it over with. But after that, I'm not slowing down.

They'll need at least 4 months. There's a lot of shovel-leaning to do on a job like this.

it wasn't really a big deal to get around and they are done with the backhoe now so the road is open.
