    If they had anticipated it then it wouldn't be a delay.

    There is one who for the 3 years I rented an office on the A63 I witnessed almost every day driving his digger to the cafe next to the brothel near Inkerman at 9:30am and he would sit there until gone 11am. I started to notice it when he put a cone out to reserve his space outside the cafe and then one day I was walking my dog on marina when I saw him driving from the tidal barrier towards the cafe. Over time I realised this guy was driving for 10 mins to have an hour and a half breakfast break and then would drive back. So nearly 2 hours. I've no doubt he would be doing similar at lunch as I saw him pass the window around that time too. Is there any wonder they're slow?

    I meant when they went to start their 'shift'. The website pictures look very different.

    What was interesting at the Ennerdale project there happened to be a fire on night in one of the site Portokabins containing a lot of photographic records , then the tunnel was scrapped and the project turned into a bridge and took a few more years - kept Mowlem going for a few more years .
    Also as the Highways Agency blamed incompetent EYRC they made us wait about 10 years longer than we should have for Castle St .

    Ennerdale Link Road
    Building a road tunnel under the River Hull sounded like a good idea when plans for the new Ennerdale Link Road were first unveiled in the mid-1980s. The road was seen as an essential piece of a vast infrastructure jigsaw being slotted together to pave the way for the development of what would becomeKingswood.

    The Ennerdale Tunnel was supposed to run under the River Hull, but the project was never completed.
    However, construction work was eventually abandoned after two years following repeated flooding. Eventually, highway engineers opted for a new road bridge instead. Debris from the doomed tunnel project is still classed as a hazard for boats using the river.

    Let's hope the latest works lowering a road in Hull are more successful. The current £355m Castle Street improvement scheme includes a section of the A63 dual carriageway being lowered by seven metres at the Mytongate junction.

    A lot of armchair civil engineers and amateur tunnelling experts in Hull today.
