OK, I figured that its about time for an update on the roadworks. I want to focus on the large section of ground that they dug away in October. They have since poured concrete all over the bottom, but water has been pouring in from one side and filling the hole up. Below are photos with explanation captions.
This is just a day or so after the concrete had been poured. As you can see, The only water in the area was on the left (and the right) of the concrete. The water from the right was coming in from drainage pipes that had been installed before this.
This is looking from the opposite direction as the photo below, and you can see how full the area is with water.
All the water gushing in from the small creek that flows just along that line. You can sort of see how they’ve tried to block it on the right, but the water has just pushed through. Just to right of this is a whole lot of really soft mud, which I nearly lost my shoe in after my leg got sucked in to about my knee (or a bit below).
This is looking from the other side, and you can see more clearly how they’ve tried to dam up the creek.
The slab of concrete near the bridge further down the road hasn’t been affected as much, because there is adequate drainage in the form of a pipe under the bride.
