School Holidays = Roadworks
Discussion
I have a twice-weekly journey of 15 miles on single carriageway A-Roads and I’m well used to roadworks being scheduled for the school holidays, but this week has seen a new record - there are currently 5 different instances of work (2 complete road closures and 3 sets of temporary lights).
Two of the sets of lights were on the signed diversion for one of the road closures!
I completely understand scheduling the work in the quieter periods, but two things struck me whilst waiting at a 4-way temporary light arrangement;
- how do the contractors resource the manpower when so much of the work is scheduled simultaneously?
- is 5 sets of roadworks in a 15 mile journey some sort of record?
