Work on London Wall should have finished on Friday 4th April, but on that day we are told they needed another seven weeks, to Sat 24th May. Just like that.
Did this come as a surprise to the to the contractor? Were they just putting down the last bit of replacement tarmac and suddenly realised that they had forgotten a bit of the job, about two months worth of work?
Or did the contractor give the City lots of notice that there may be a delay and the City simply didn't bother to tell anyone until the last possible moment?
Who knows. Anyway ...

Subject: Eastbound closure of London Wall
London Wall has been closed eastbound from 8 March for repairs to a gas main. These works were expected to be completed by 6pm today, Friday 4 April. The statutory undertaker experienced technical difficulties and was unable to complete these works as scheduled and requested for the closure to continue for a further seven weeks. We therefore extended this closure until 24 May.
Please accept our apologies for the closure not being included in our traffic management bulletin which was distributed yesterday 3 April. I have attached an amended copy of the bulletin.
