They probably only work in the late evening/overnight when they can close lanes/a whole road or junction. In my view the authorities never have the guts to close a road/junction from an entire day/weekend so that work can be done outside the weekday rush hour periods and without days/weeks/months of useless (and no-one working on them) coned off areas just causing major pinch points.

Makes you wonder why doesn't it.

No. Not really. But since you're obviously such an expert, why don't yu get elected to Essex CC and show them how it's done.

Be thankful you don't have to pass through the catthorpe Interchange or Tollbar End on a daily basis, like some of us.

Makes you wonder why doesn't it.

Not really, no. I've not experience in doing work like that.

So - hwo long do you think it should take?
