The Roadworks Thread

[kam6]

Is it just me or has Leicester become pound-for-pound Roadwork champion?

Everywhere I drive in the City I'm hounded by them. The idea of this thread is if you come across some roadworks, you can post them in this thread to warn others, and perhaps give them some tips to avoid them.

Possibly highlight them in Red for easy viewing.

I'll start off:

City/County: Leicester

Area/Road: Outer Ring Road near Racecourse/Knighton Park

Reason: Closed for bridge strengthening

Planned till: October 4th 2009

Notes/Tips: Causing major disruption along London Road from Oadby towards the City Centre; you cannot turn left or right into Shanklin Drive because the Council has cut it off as a rat-run; Diversions are in place - opposite Oadby Asda if you coming from that direction, otherwise use Knighton Road (inner ring road)

I know there are some roadworks around Welford Road Stadium, King RichardsRoad/St. Augustines Road, near Victoria Park on London Road etc but don't know much about them so I'll leave them to other people to do.

Happy venting

The timing of this "roadworks" is fooking ridiculous!!

Council must be thinking stupid "lets put a major roadworks in place as soon as the kids go back to skool!"

could they not have thought to put this in place at the beginning of the summer?!?!?!?!!??!

No one appreciates the trolley collectors...well I do - good work, Hairy. Good work.

I can only dream of becoming a trolly collector at the moment. When I have finished my NVQ in trollies I can pack up this litter collecting joke of a job.
