Funnily enough, I went across it before, and as I did, the usual "what a pisstake fail" convo started to Mel, proceeding to the old "imagine how much money they waste keeping it stading doing millions of pounds worth of work to it every 18 months and ending with the "I don't know why they dont just knock the stupid thing down and start again" lol.
I think everyone but the Highways agency has been saying for the last decade...

We lived on Mosslands Drive when I was a kid, immediately in front of the flyovers with only the allotments between them and us. I hated what they did to the moss. I think I was about ten or eleven when they started, and until then I was Wetland Boy. My mum hardly ever saw me from dawn to dusk in the summer holidays. Then suddenly they were ripping it up, and building a motorway across it, and it was as good as gone almost overnight. I'd forgotten until now just how much I hated that.

Lucky for you 'Wetland Boy' it wasn't known as a 'Bog'!!  Happy times, eh? Reminds me of when I used to go down there myself looking for newts & tadpoles. Also used to like walking the Bidston Footpath until it got overrun by rats from the tip...

Yeah, Bog Boy was more like it.  We had huge rats nesting under the path in our back garden for years afterwards.

Walking through, to B&Q, today I noticed some workmen taking down scaffolding. They told me that the work was COMPLETED but it would take a few weeks to clear the site.
Clones are people two !

Pathetic really.
Japan have rebuilt nearly an entire nation faster than these have been able to fix a bridge.

Japan built a nation because they were galvanised by defeat and subsidised by USA. We lost a nation because we sat on our ar*es and expected to get paid for doing nothing!!

Give it a year or two and it'll be closed again, to rectify the ongoing cock-ups! Someone said a while back (quite rightly) demolish the whole bloody thing and start again. THIS time do it RIGHT!!!! You can only patch up a crap design/build so many times before you have to admit it's a total Money Pit - as well said by Madge.
