Every time I have been through here there are excessive amounts of workers standing around doing nothing, rain, hail or shine! How about sacking the contractors and hiring people that actually want to work…
Just come through the works before, there was a bit of rain and they were working! Maybe miracles do happen.
Maybe it’s just me but if contractors I had hired to pave my shed were running years behind schedule I wouldnt be telling them “well go ahead and tear up the driveway as well”. What exactly is stopping Terry Mulder from insisting on vicroads completing the works section by section given thier inability to complete anything on time? If they can’t keep to the timeframe they should be wearing the associated costs for completing the roads in segments of no more than 5km, not causing road users inconvenience and comprimising driver safety by ripping up a 30km+ stretch as well as winchelsea.
Yet again those of us in a ‘safe’ seat are just expected to sit back and accept this. Years of unfinished work, days upon days of no work being done on this road and countless hours lost due the restricted speed limits just simply isn’t good enough. Surely if Mr Mulder were to insist that more workers were put on the job we wouldn’t have to wait another TWO YEARS! The whole thing has been and continues to be a farce!
The contractors have insufficient workers on the project in good weather; so how could it ever be completed on time? Also, why pick out 88 days- what about the other 800 or so days that the project has been running?
In 88 days 44 seen rain and 4 seen work done on the road.
