they are resurfucing, you can see it all dug up when you drive past on the other side. They do work cos i live close by and the vans are there all thru the night bleeping and banging we can see and hear it from out bedroom!!!!! It would have been cheeper and better to just knock the bridge down and make it a flat road to J1 so both tunnel and road traffic have to go to B&Q roundabout to join motorway. An as for J2 i thought the same thing looks like they have closed one lane because it is not strong enough anymore to carry the weight.

It's going to be a long wait; from the Highways Agency website:

Quote
At the junction of the M53 J2 and the A551 , minor delays are possible due to roadworks closing one lane. Expect disruption until 5:00 am on 31 October 2012.

That's a bit specific for something over a year away.

Probably got an 8 week ETA but they know what the cowboys are like that work on our roads, so decided to give the public an actualy likely timeframe.

Sounds about right smile

8 weeks, estimated time to do the job
14 weeks, actual time to finish it
14 weeks and 1 day, realisation that it's still not right
1yr 14weeks and 1 day, time taken to knock it down and start all over again with something that works

5am Oct 31st 2012 - Open on schedule laugh
