Where are the speed bumps........are they going in later?

To hell with the speed bumps, give a job to 4 or 5 people with radar guns and give em a percentage of the fines, puts people to work and takes "most" of the graft outa of it.

Al - The 'sped up' version, was simply a clear video demonstration of how fast everyone will actually be driving on the cart path, oops, don't want to get yelled at. I meant 'road'. ;-)

LOL

The road construction took last Sat, Sun and Mon off. They started a new section of road a few hundred feet from the Capricorn turnoff on Tuesday. As of yesterday (Thursday) evening about 600ft of one side of this new section had been poured, equivalent to 300 feet of full road.

So, it appears that the road is going in at approx. 100ft per day. There's about 11,400 feet to go. That's 114 days assuming no more days off are taken due to holidays, bad weather etc. If we add another 30 days, because days off for those reasons are inevitable, it means the road will be completed in about 150 days, ie. near the end of February.

Speed bumps: I think there will be an initiative from the Town Board to install properly engineered concrete speed bumps and interested parties will be able to "buy" sections of each speed bump. If this goes ahead the speed bumps will be pre-cast in sections, maybe 4 per bump, and installed over time. I am sure this will be of particular interest to resorts, residential parties etc.

So it's been a couple of weeks since the last update... where is the road now?

We know they've been working this week. They're somewhere south of the turn before Capt. Morgan's. After talking with one of the road guys, he said they would stop north of Grand Caribe, then start at the bridge on town and work up, meeting where they leave their equipment.
Could be a happy choice for lots of people!

They're right at the corner past White Sands Cove. For some reason they missed out on 3 days of good weather, last Sat, Sun and Mon, but the last few days have seen some good progress.

Yesterday stakes were laid out on a few hundred feet of road north of the bridge. The road there is currently in an embarrassing state of disrepair.
