Dave Hedgehog Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Seems it is two way with a 120m single lane controlled by traffic lights in the middle. Should be fun at home time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I wonder how many years of remedial work will be required on the "completion" of this project? The going back and finishing of stuff that was missed (or omitted in the name of political expediency) or to replace/repair stuff that has failed early. As to the cost... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebean Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 6th August: https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/summerhill-and-broadway-will-reopen-on-time-doi-minister/ 2nd September: https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/seven-week-delay-to-reopening-of-broadway-in-douglas/ At what point do DoI just stop making announcements about this scheme and just admit that they are making it up as they go along? At what point, also, does the hapless Tim Baker admit that the scheme is a clusterfuck and that someone in management isn't managing? He looks like the driver of a Snaefell tram careering out of control down the mountain, stamping on the brakes and shouting to the passengers that everything is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
