No warning of that then!

Cars or pedestrians? 

Papa

Brilliant, it only just reopened.<div>Presumably not pedestrians if they are about to close Wells Terrace.</div>

verga

Yes you have to cross

Sutent

That's going to be horrible. I hope they suspend the cycle path

Signs north of the bridge say the road is closed until the end of 2017. However, there's an Islington planning notice with (works phasing information) on a lamppost outside Rowan's which says the works will be complete by the end of this year.

I wonder if there are any statistics that back up what we all think about British road and public works etc. taking far more time and being incredibly badly organised compared to our rival nations?<div><br></div><div>This kind of stuff is almost comedy.</div><div><br></div><div>Close bridge for ages, cause chaos, open bridge, close bridge again at same time as forcing lots more people through it.</div>

I'd like to see the stats compared to the US.

miss annie

What is the road closed for?

Papa

Mind you the US might be one of the few places with worse roads than us.<div><br></div><div>What I always love is the excuses councils make about our crumbling roads, claiming it's because of bad / extreme weather.</div><div><br></div><div>Then you drive to the Alps and the roads are fine.</div>

verga

Would love to drive to the Alps but it is proving impossible to drive out of n4 at the moment

Islington council website suggests closure until end of Nov 2016 describing it as "Station Works"<br>

Pretty sure it's so they can gain access to the platforms again - for the lift works.
