" Details of the roadworks set to bring central Brighton to a standstill have been revealed.

North Street, the city’s busiest bus route, will be closed to through traffic for eight weeks while it is resurfaced.

Southern Water is repairing damage caused by the replacement of Victorian water mains ten years ago.

The exact start date of work is still to be released, however the entire section of road between West Street and East Street will be closed except to residents and deliveries, from mid-September."

:lolol:

Has there ever been a time when they HAVEN'T been doing roadworks on North Street?

It was for gas mains a couple of years ago.

I spent 3 years working in an office on North Street (2008-11), and I reckon only about 6 months of that time they weren't digging up the road for something.

September - October.
As the buses will all use the seafront, at least they've kept it away from the summer season and Christmas in North St. Unless it over-runs!

So it's to do with replacing the Victorian water mains 10 years ago? From what I can recall they said that work was meant to mean Southern wouldn't need to work on it for another 50 years or something? That panned out well.

The work is resurfacing the road.

"Southern Water is repairing damage caused by the replacement of Victorian water mains ten years ago."

But I take your point, although if it's damage that was caused 10 years ago and it needs resurfacing now can it have been that bad?
