The potted, and cracked surface of the Vineyard has been replaced by a brand new road surface. The ‘sensual’ oil based smell of fresh tarmacadam lingered on the morning after.
Crisp white lines have replaced the faded junctions that were there a week ago.
The road painters had added some flourishes that were not there before.
Last night, soon after the work began, on the final night of the 5 night closure, a lot of vehicles still sped down the Oxford Road and did a U turn at the final Road Closed sign. The diversion was by Bath Street and up Stratton Way to join Stert Street.
This is my entry to the 1st of October City Daily Photo Theme Day on the word ‘Sensual’. More appropriate entries than the smell of fresh tar can be viewed here.
Finally got rid of those potholes from the roundabout. Replaced with a painted type…. Was always difficult turning into Radley Road….
That pesky sunken drain on the roundabout – I will miss it… well I always tried to!
I was looking forward to cycling down the virgin Tarmac this morning but the traffic was so bad I couldn’t face it and took the back way! I hope I get to ride on it before it breaks up again..
redstone, i tried and failed to miss it myself.
