Castle Street delays
When I posted about the looming upgrade of Castle Street back in June, I should have known that the estimated time-scales would fly out the window.
Latest reports suggest that work might not start for another five years, so that’s more endless queues and frustration to look forward to.
Earlier options that were on the cards are being thrown out because of escalating costs so the latest thinking is a new flyover above the Mytongate junction, or lowering the road beneath it. Either way, the Council say we’re looking at 2013 at the earliest to start the work.
Watch out for the public consultation in the New Year about the plans. I’m tempted to say we need to get it sorted asap, but we may as well get it right whilst we’re at it. Already five years behind, there is little point wasting the next 25 complaining bitterly that it didn’t even help ease the problem.
Anyway, here’s hoping that 2009 isn’t dominated by sitting in traffic – Happy New Year to you all!
