Title: Roadworks - AGAIN?!
Post by: Alsatian on April 02, 2012, 06:42:15 PM
Walked into town this morning and, approaching t'old football ground, I noticed that not only was Foljambe Road closed again - but so was Rutland Road!

Also the Saltergate traffic lights were switched off, and had been superceded by a set of temporary traffic lights at the end of Tennyson Ave (against the water main roadworks).

Traffic from West Bars roundabout had to either go up Foljambe Rd or Rutland Rd and then follow the diversions onto Saltergate via Rose Hill West.

It was a nightmare!  >:(

Thankfully they removed the temp lights on Saltergate mid afternoon.

Someone wants their bits kicking big style.  :o

I'm glad I'm not at work this week.
Seems like the usual nightmare on the roads.
Nice to have a week off driving and still get paid.
I expect it will be there when i go back though.
