I live in the US and here when they work on a road it takes half a decade to finish then the road starts to fall apart within a few years. In the UK or Europe in general, how long does a road project last and does the road immediately start to fall apart after it is finished?

Do they even have cars? I thought they were still using horse-drawn carriages.

Funny you should ask that. Taxi driver today was going mental because the Main road was going to be shut for four weeks at the end of this month - it's not long opened after repairs. At the same time, the usual route for diversions is also closed - has been for three weeks and was closed for 4 weeks about 3 months ago.
Don't think the local council knows the meaning of the word PLANNING!
Yo, Claptrap - Are you sure you're spelling your name right?
Think that should be an "R" after the "L" cos you spout a helluva lot of verbal diarrhoea!!

You have to understand that digging up the roads is a major industry in the UK, if a time limit were to placed on it, the national unemployment figures would increase catastrophically

Claptrap is a cheeky blighter. Answer to your question: How long is a piece of string?
There is a road not far from me and I can not remember it being clear of roadworks of one sort or another for about 30years

It takes forever. Outside my business they have taken the road up so far five times this year.

Forever...then they dig it up the next day to make sure everything's a-okay, then they take forever to put it back, then they dig it up for another reason, then the cycle starts all over again.

They have to find some use for the traffic cones that keep breading somewhere.(I'll personally shoot the bloke responsible)
