The earth moves

Just at this crucial juncture I changed jobs and so missed the actual start of the serious digging. But now signs are up and earth has been moved and Phase 1 has begun. Of course there is still no improvement in the time taken to get past (it seems to be getting worse).

In the pictures you see.. (Left) - the nice signs that they put up now when there are roadworks - this includes the planned completion date of Dec 07 for this phase - also note digging machine. On the right is where the gas station previously stood (see previous post) - serious progress.
