Dave Hedgehog Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I don't understand how having 2 shifts brings the timescale down from 34 weeks to 9 weeks. Anyone care to elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 if it's the 29th today and it's finished, are they having a street party until they open it on 2nd ? why the delay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 if it's anything like the other end of the road the delay will be for the road markings to dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminal Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well it doesn't look very finished to me. The entrance to Governor's Hill needs to have a top surface put on it and the road markings the Douglas side of that entrance haven't been done yet. And why are all the bloody cones still there creating the need for the traffic lights? They don't need to be. I'd like to know how much that green spray paint cost just to make the soil look nice. Is it really necessary? If it's finished get the road open. If it isn't quite finished (which it isn't) then don't say it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Are they going to build on the land up there now? seems like a lot of work has been done to make it safer to bang in an estate entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The road will reopen to traffic on Friday 2nd October. So they announce completion when they have not completed? They are, in fact, finally finishing on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Whatever the actual completion day, I'm impressed that they've worked well ahead of schedule and it'll make an awkward and dangerous road more safer. So well done guys for finishing lots earlier than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was it awkward or dangerous? It was about 200 yards of road with a 30mph speed limit and 2 bends and a junction in it. Not having a go here just asking a simple question. As someone said earlier, it sounds like it's to make room for a new housing estate more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you risked spilling your coffee as you drove over the bumps andyou nearly had to take your 4x4 near some horrible dirty grass in some places especially when another 4x4 coming the other way was driving around a puddle. On some days when it was raining really hard, you had to drive at 30mph because of all the wateron the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
