“I was amazed that no work was carried out over the weekend”Yes, truly amazing…I was there at 1230 on Saturday and there were no fewer than a dozen workers there, not to mention excavators etc. Workers were welding the new flange/connector and the contactors told me it would be connected that afternoon. I presume it is now undergoing pressure-testing prior to the hole being backfilled. Then the concrete sub-base of the road will need to cure. I imagine you won’t see anyone standing over it watching the concrete harden - other contributors to this site might regard that as a waste of manpower. Then the carriageway will be resurfaced and reopened to traffic – hopefully in few days.Chris Calvi-FreemanHead of TransportLondon Borough of Hounslow
