This is a main, center city road along the Neva River. Traffic is limited to one way. It adds 15-20 minutes to any drive to or from our apartment, because you have to cross the river, turn around on the island, and re-cross the bridge back into town.
Here's the alley outside our apartment. It looks much better than it did, now that some of the snow & ice has melted. Anyone need a pallet?
I think they are replacing steam pipes. The project started in October, and "they say" it will be done in May. Ha Ha!!! That means October
They appear to dig areas, then move on to another area. There's no concept of "finishing what you started"
And not much work happening for 9AM. Ah...... get back to work boys!
A big hole
I'm thinking steam pipes. What else could they be?
These guys are monitoring the hole digging.....
Here's what you do with the old asphalt and dirt that you dig up..... put it in a pile and hope it disappears
They are running this yellow pipe along the sidewalk, so the walkway is blocked. These wooden ramps lead us up to a statue, and we need to walk along the base of the status.
You can't make this stuff up!
Multiple wooden ramps. Really slippery
How many guys does it take to dig a hole? 6, apparently!
And the best part? They are starting new sections, and blocking off more streets, before even being close to finishing the 1st section
I'm going to track this each month. It should be humorous.
Ahh ! Russia !
