Ahh yes. If you want to ensure that roadworks are only done during daytime, between 8am & 5pm, with as much disruption as possible to road users.Originally Posted by oneofsix

Anyone else remember how long roading jobs took? New infrastructure? Mangere Bridge (1983) project?

But when they were done it was done right and that is what is being discussed.
No, I don't remember the Mangere Bridge (1983) project but I do remember the Mackays crossing and Lindale projects and they weren't great examples of private contractors. BTW the projects were managed by the MOW but it was the private sector that did them, MOW did maintenance.

I appreciate that they were able to build to a standard, however they only worked during daylight hours, projects took foreveeeeeeer to complete and caused major disruptions.
We all know the old MoW jokes.
