Augustus Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'm not an expert, but surely you can't build gutters without some sort of camber to allow water to drain??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never get water coming onto the road at that end of the prom. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise this is not the final layer of tarmac? They’ll put that on right at the end, at which time those ramps up to the tramlines will disappear, and the drainage will (hopefully) work properly., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesultanofsheight Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The plan is to lift the road several inches so there will be no curb. Just flat straight out to run off on beach. Apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. You're not an expert which explains why you don't know what you are talking about.

Just flat straight out to run off on beach. Apparently. No. Theres about 25 mm or so to still go on that part of the road which will enable any water to go into the run off already formed in the kerbs . Hence why water is gathered currently . It should be fine when they finish the surface level. But I'm not 100% sure they have got levels right .
