Silly me went through there late on Friday night. Big mistake. Couldn’t figure out why it was still open with all the potholes, slush and misdirected foglights.

Seriously…it’s not even like we had a real deluge. Sure, it was wet, but we’ve had less than 15mm rain today. Roadworks not being able to handle a bit of rain is pretty pathetic!

+1. You’d think Yarralumla Creek must have risen in flood and taken out the bridge from the sound of it.

Awesome that the goat tracks there (which are bad enough in fine weather!) weren’t designed with the possibility of bad weather (i.e rain) occurring…..
ACT Govt might want to review their contract with the roadworks company there…..
