On my walk in to work this morning I was struck by the number of streets that are restricted or just fully blocked off due to road-works at the moment. I can't remember it ever being so widespread tbh. And in the hope of helping other PROCers avoid unnecessary log-jams because so few of these blockages are flagged in advance here's what I spotted this morning
High Street
Summer Hill South
Sullivans Quay
South Mall
Grand Parade
South Main Street
Was stuck by the number of people working without the requisite PPE. One guy using an angle-grinder in front of The Capitol had ear-defenders - not one of his six colleagues in close proximity did, but no mask or safety glasses. Needless to say none of his colleagues had any masks or safety-glasses either, though all saw the wisdom of high-viz vests and hard-hats.
Anyways, hopefully these roadworks will come to an end soon. Did the digging up of Patrick Street finish by the way - the electronic signs warning of it said it would be finished by August 12th
