Will Hughes Hair Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 At the glacial rate those roadworks have been progressing can I ask if you're referring to August 2020 or 2021? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser_23 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Going to Costco tonight was a nightmare, and that’s a Tuesday without football! Probably the worst lay out I’ve seen for roadworks. Almost missed the turn for Costco on island, because it’s pretty sharp and tight. Planning is shocking, doing it at the Same time as ascot drive?

goldstar Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Was a crash earlier as well, no injuries luckily. Surprised there's not been more as this has been a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 No chance it will be only 13 months. Clearly this wasn't part of the original plan or it would have been communicated earlier. They really are making it up as they go along. It must be horrendous for people working there, wouldn't surprise me to see businesses on the wyvern close down as people avoid the area. For dcfc its going to cause massive issues with traffic getting away, the stadium will be empty come 80 mins as people leave to try and avoid it. Perhaps the council have already made provisions to provide park and ride for Derby games during this spell. I can't see it though, it won't even have been discussed. Can see it affecting the gates, especially evening games as people think sitting in traffic for an hour or two or watching on red button? I don't think its knee jerk to say Derby and the council should be discussing this to try and arrive at a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand why its taking so long now they've slashed the scope of the works. The new 1000 tonne QMC bridge in Nottingham went in basically in one piece almost over night. It wasnt ready for use straight away but they didnt have to close the road for 13 weeks. All they are doing on a52 to wyvern slip road is making it a bit straighter and adding traffic lights. Maybe an extra lane. The other side is closed for the bridge install for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The problem is all of this work will be for nothing unless they're changing the plans so the new foot bridge will extend over the slip road and into Toys R Us car park. One of the biggest problems with that slip road is pedestrians halting traffic cross. Simply moving the crossing further down won't improve things...

Town planners dont have much to do with road construction and traffic management. It's Highway Engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Living in Alvaston is a fecking nightmare due to traffic. While I appreciate the thousands spent on the engraved chunks of metal sticking out of the floor I can't help wonder if the guys who make these decisions are able to dress themselves, incompetent knobbers I swear everything Derby does is just crap. That spaceport they built for buses. Amazing achievement that it's less practical than the one they knocked down. The velodrome. You know what it needs? A tin opener. First time I went in I expected to see some huge spam. Pedestrian crossings in Alvaston. Looks wicked in winter when the dark nights draw in. Don't need Blackpool now. And the roadworks. I mean you take the slip road away at the same time you take Ascot Drive making London Rd busier than London City and Pride Park is Pride Car Park Clever. Imagine being that poo at your job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being that poo at your job And yet the bell-whiff will still be sat there on his £100k a year (plus all the suspect brown envelopes he took, to ensure the most incompetent firm won the bid) when it's finally finished. I'm a dyed in the wool Labour guy, and I don't live within the City Council boundry, but if I did, I'd happily vote Conservative til the day I die to keep the likes of Banwait and his cronies running things. They scammed the city dry for years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
