A20 diversions - how much longer?
- 23 May 2008 09:312393Anyone who lives on an A20 diversion route as I do, will be desperate to see the back of them.
We were promised "12-15 weeks" as the time required - by my reckoning the 12 weeks are now up. No sign of the end yet though.
Does anyone know how much longer this outrage is going to persist?
I would like to personally throttle whoever inflicted this on us, but that is another matter.

There are still roadworks going on down in the seafront area, although I might be able to offer you some glimmer of hope with this little gem...in the past hour or so...the eastern end of the seafront(Marine Parade) has opened up for access to Townwall St. As it has been closed for a long long time this might indicate some progress is being made.

- 24 May 2008 12:092410Thanks for the news guys - I heard a rumour suggesting it would last into August.
Hope it was wrong. - 29 May 2008 18:362510I am afraid my glimmer of hope reported before about the seafront being open for access from the eastern end was short lived...its been closed again for the past two days with yet more lane closures along Townwall St...oh dear! and the traffic has been heavy as a result.

- 31 May 2008 08:012570I think we plummed new depths of chaos last night. Complete road closures eastwards on main rd (Townwall) as they cut strips yet again in the already finished and immaculately laid surface..partial closing going westwards too so all was chronic...and I think it was fully closed further up.
I went out for a humble fish n chips on my motorbike and to get back twas like trying to negotiate a complicated jigsaw puzzle. I had to take a possibly illegal detour thru the Russell St carpark. I imagine the rest of the town was in chaos trying to cope with the diversions.email: dover7@msn.com - 31 May 2008 10:372582Ahhh - that's the beauty of bikes! Makes the illegal
and exciting that much more possible!
