OK, I am writing this on Monday night at 8:30pm.
Today has been quite an eventful one for the roadworks. I’ll let the photos below tell the story.
They have made a fair bit of progress on the stretch of road outside our place. For a start the level of the road has risen quite a lot and the edge (the bit that the two trees are on) has been cleared of all the logs, grass and bushes.
Further down the road the excavator has been busy at the bridge, especially at a section snug to the concrete. See the photo below.
This is the section that the excavator has been digging away at today. My dad pointed out that the foundation of the bridge appears to be an old causeway, complete with a pipe in the middle of it. Our neighbour helped to build this bridge, so I will ask him whether this is correct or not.
The orange excavator that can be seen in the distance (and also on my photoblog) dug all of this trench up to about where it is parked. At the end of this trench there is an access for trucks, and on the other side of that is another trench that is a bit wider than this one.
