Residents in the area pushed for that last section to be included in the original plans.
Decision makers, in their wisdom(?), decided it wouldn't be.
So as well as the original widening and fixing the bodge job of tarmacing from the initial works - they then came back to do the southbound section of concreting (in two sections) and now the northbound (in two sections).
Once being underneath and north of the roundabout to the slips and then further north again.
Adding a further 2 or 3 months on to an existing project, with more inconvenience and cost than was ever needed if they did it all together.
Different budgets I guess like someone said after. The ironic thing is as far as I'm aware they didn't actually lift the concrete on the widening part - they 100% widened it with concrete first and just laid tarmac on top as far as I'm aware.
Not sure why they've suddenly decided to rip it up which is costly on this part.
Mind have to give credit though Autolink have got the A19 in good condition, less said about parts of the A1(M) which is bodged mess in places.
