At least wear one of those transparent pouches from the boot sale.

I'd prefer he wear them all.

Can someone please explain why this western access route seems to mostly consist of work on Foregate Street rather than the actual access route?

Or is the Foregate Street work something completely different? All I know is it's infuriating 90% of the day and makes me avoid going northbound to get to the shops up there. Seems to be a tailback down the A34 no matter what time of day.

It's to widen the junctions to make it actually possible for the WAR to feed into Foregate Street.

My experience has been that, against all expectations, traffic flows a hell of a lot better along that road during the works. Must be because there's only one set of lights there now rather than three, unsynchronized, of the buggers.

And not a lot of people know Browning Street is back open


Doh!!

And not a lot of people know Browning Street is back open

Isn't browning Street closed again? Signs on Sandon Road seem to indicate this.

 

[PeterD]

The Sandon Road/Albert Terrace lights appear to be out. That was fun.

 

[Gramaisc]

Isn't browning Street closed again? Signs on Sandon Road seem to indicate this.

Possibly just left the signs there?

The Sandon Road/Albert Terrace lights appear to be out. That was fun.

Possibly a result of the little glitch this morning - much improved from my point of view.

This does seem to be the case - Browning Street seems fully open, but without the right turn at the end, obviously.

The Road Closed sign is still there on the verge by the POs' car park - leaving Road Closed signs up long after a road reopens is a bit of a local tradition, of course.
