Roadworks on flyovers. Will be arriving Grimsby around 10.45 sat morning, how bad might it be, or have they got them sorted yet. Feedback much appreciated

Dunno about the roadworks coming in on the 180 but travelling in yesterday morning from the A46 was a joke as soon as you get off Laceby Bypass at Morrisons roundabout.  Roadworks at Bradley Crossroads with the two lanes filtering into one.  Perhaps coincidence but tailback up to Grimsby College was worse than usual too.

Just a word of caution for anyone coming in that way. Might not be the case by Saturday but if it is I'd suggest it might be worth adding a little in terms of miles and going through Barnoldby Le Beck and Waltham rather than down Laceby Road/Weelsby Road.

There is a big sign on King's Road warning of congestion on the A180 due to roadworks - "Use alternative route" - so they are deliberately funnelling traffic onto the A46 as well. Joined-up thinking, that.

Thanks for that as was considering coming in on the A18 then Laceby/Weelsby Rd, think I will just stick with the roadworks.

Those bridge works are in place, get this, until “autumn”.

Bear in mind the Corpo Bridge debacle has escalated from the planned 11 months until “f#ck knows when”. I expect the flyover works to be a nightmare well into next season, on that basis.

No-one. Fly down the Humber and make a mayday call for a technical problem. Radio to say you can see a good area to land so you’re going to land there as an emergency. You’ll even get a load of emergency service workers to welcome you down with blankets and warm drinks.

When has flying to and from a football ground in a helicopter ever gone wrong?

I was witness to something like that by a road laying crew in Menorca. Not on the same scale, but we were travelling to one of the resorts in the north when we came across traffic lights, which was rare in itself. After a 10-minute wait we proceeded a mile down the road, with the whole of the other side of the road had been removed and machinery was waiting to relay the tarmac. 3 and a half hours later we returned by the same route and all signs of the road crew were gone, and they had relayed AND re-painted the whole 1-mile section.
