Open Cut Mining approved for the Corso

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.

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.

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?ValleyForge wrote: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.

Yeah I was out there this morning filling the potholes with spare $2 coins......
