That goes into the road a bit... shouldn't there be a keep right sign?

Roadworks on the A3 in Germany just south of Cologne. Yellow markings are used to indicate 'temporary' (these are red in other countries, such as Austria).

A section of the railway on the south shore of Loch Carron put to use as a temporary way for road vehicles during the long closure of the A890. The road was blocked by a landslide in December 2011 resulting in a diversion of some 140 miles.

A relief ferry <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2812302'>NG8635 : Ferry, Strome Ferry</a> was used to relieve the situation for a while until the railway was prepared to take traffic for short periods during the day.
Some of the work to try to stabilise the cliffs can be seen on the left of the picture.

The road is expected to reopen towards the end of April 2012.

Quite a bit of road work starting on the M6 between Stafford and Stoke now, especially on the central reservation. No doubt its probably part of the planned up and coming Smart Motorway scheme. Must of only started work here very recently.

Wolverhampton tram extension works. The new extension is almost complete and ready but won't open probably until the train station is redeveloped. All Ive noticed so far is that they've started installing new lighting columns.

Wolverhampton tram extension works. The new extension is almost complete and ready but won't open probably until the train station is redeveloped. I noticed that they've started installing new lighting and columns for now. The lanterns here being installed are Philips Lumas, replacing mainly 1960s columns with Holophane QSM lanterns.

Along Railway Drive. Philips MA30 lantern outside Wolverhampton train station. Both this lantern and the column won't be lasting for much longer, as the station is being redeveloped.

Meriden Street, Digbeth, Birmingham. Heading away from Curzon Street. Eventually this whole area is to be redeveloped from what Ive seen. I think theres plans for a metro/tram line down this road too.

Cutting through stone like a hot knife through butter! - Flickr - 51988137809.jpg
Now, in 1928, here we had a stone cutting machine that could do that in a fraction of the time! Mind you, there's no shortage of hard labour about either!!!
