Open Cut Mining approved for the Corso

[ValleyForge]

In case no-one noticed, the road profilers have hit the inbound side of the Yeronga Corso and converted it to an open cut mine.

Nice to discover it sign-posted right at the start as I went past it (AT) 40kph this morning.

Ride it at your peril! Here's to hopes it resurfaced soon.

they've also hit sylvan rd, slowed me down a bit on my spin out to coot-tha this morning. Hopefully they tidy it up quickly, though I'm not super optimistic.

Sylvan Rd is supposed to be resurfaced within a week.

The Corso is quite attrocious - saw about 10 flats there this morning, I'm not going back till its resurfaced as it is somewhat of a hazard for riders and tires atm.

Glad I read this today, I was going to head home this way this afternoon, maybe not. Thanks for the post

Only the inbound side. Even worse this morning with lots more loose gravel. Exciting stuff!

I rode west and back this morning - this section was a breeze on the MTB

Yes, the Corso is pretty ugly at the moment. I rode it last night and this morning.
If they seal it like they did in Diane St it's going to be just beeeautiful. Smooth as a ... well you know.

Any updates ? Planning to go for a training ride in the morning ....

Tubeless laps it up

Dont want to sound like a whinger (especially when a nice smooth road is so close ) but I'm avoiding sylvan road until they are finished. Came home that way tonight, still rough as guts.

Did ariver loop this morning and an underlay has been layed ..... Still rough but better than what it was ...., waiting for the smooth surface to be laid, I suspect over the next few days on an evening maybe .....

That's just what they want you to think. Notice how all the signs are gone? I think the Council crew have called it a wrap & finished it. Seriously.

I did notice the no signs yes and also did wonder about that but if that is the case they did a massive sloppy job .... Did you notice the holes at some spots?
They may have to cut corner due to Julia's pay increase

Yeah I was out there this morning filling the potholes with spare $2 coins...... Cheaper than a snake-bite flat on a tubular.

thanks for the updates.

looks like plan b will have to be actioned for Tuesday......Mt Nebo it is..

[jasonc]

sylvan road was meant to be complete by wednesday or thursday just gone. does anyone have any update?

[Le Velo]

The corso is a massive mess ! That rain over the past week has now made some even bigger pot holes than before

[heanous]

Both Sylvan and the Corso are crappy. Oh well, can't expect too much considering the weather we've had this last week.

they've smoothed over half of the bit they ripped up, other half is still rough though.

the rough half.

[Comedian]

On sunday there was a drop down to the new section. Bit of a thump-o-nuts moment at 45k.

[jasonc]

the rough half.

I did ask for it....
