Road works

[Sparky]

Work on planting trees around the Port has already been reported on the forum but they have also been digging trenches and laying pipes in a few of the streets. Road works have now started in C/Vicenc Buades, the old pot hole ridden surface is finally being replaced. They are making a lot of noise and mess but i am sure it will be worth it in the end .

Hopefully, all planned road works will be completed by the summer season ?

Well they have almost finished in C/Vicenc Buades and have aleady ripped up the surface in C/Roger de Flor, it's causing chaos for parking and the bars/restaurants have lost trade but they are moving very quickly. Here's a few photos :-

the moon at present

Yes it cuts down on traffic noise mate, the railing in the last pic isn't finished unfortunately, rain stopped play on Friday and the painter is on holiday for a week but the others look really good .

Smg this work has been long overdue, we didn't have potholes.....more like craters .

Thanks for picture sparky, my flat is oposite school C/vincents boules so it looks great, tree's trimmed and a new road.. Out there in three weeks time can't wait..so just need the sun if you can organise for me.

[Sparky]

Grandad you will notice a big difference, the new surface has reduced noise levels dramatically, every morning a huge lorry thunders down the road and it was so bad it made our windows used to rattle...now we don't hear it at all .
As for the sun...i will do my best .

Hope the tarmac doesn't melt in the hot sun, as it did one year in Leeds !

Indeed, must be a British thing like the "wrong" kind of rain, leaves on the track and hosepipe bans after a couple of weeks of sun! (To mention but a few).

Wonder how many days of sunshine we will have, in the U.K before we get slapped with a hose pipe ban this year ?

[Sparky]

Well, it would appear that they laid the new surface over the manhole covers, so this morning they are busy digging them out.........only in Mallorca .
