After months and months of every single major A road and motorway having overnight closures leading to some unbelievable diversions for those of us working the Vampire shift, I’ve just checked Traffic England for tonight to see what is going to stuff the job up. All there is showing is A1 southbound entry slip closed at Catterick and A6 onto A421 northbound sliproad closed.
Have all the roadwork crews gone on Xmas leave?
Probably not, they are just so ■■■■ poor at keeping it up to date it’s pointless reading it. Half the stuff they have on there is wrong, as in the job has finished, or my personal favourite, the ones they don’t bother putting on that just pop up from time to time. I used to enjoy going down the A1 virtually traffic free, no mention of roadworks, then find the road closed at the A47, cue 40 minute diversion for what turns out to be a 3 mile stretch of roadwork. ■■■■■
