It’s time there was an honest acknowledgment that “fixing the roads” properly is way more expensive than people realistically appear willing to pay, both in £s and in congestion due to road closures for full repair.

I have been bugging @edinhelp to get something done about the constant leak of water on the West Granton Access cycle path. It's coming out of the big concrete walls in the cutting, suspiciously started when the new flats on top were being built, but leak continues. On icy days it makes a wide swathe of ice to traverse.

Be careful anyone riding on the B9080 between Burnshot and Kirkliston. There's a sunken manhole and resultant pothole that literally could swallow a can of irn bru whole. Could be nasty if hit at speed..pic below if I can work out how to do it:

That whole stretch has now been prepared for resurfacing. It's rougher than a harled wall. The plan was to get it surfaced this week. Time will tell if they consider it unavoidable work or not.

I rode the section from the Craigie's turn past Craigiehall towards the A90 yesterday afternoon. The southern carriageway is now surfaced with smooth tarmac but the northern one is still to be done.
There was a van at the western end who waved me through but I couldn't see any signs that suggested they were still working unlike the bridge where there are so many workers that I had to squeeze past the BMW parked on the cyclepath towards the underpass.Posted 4 years ago # -
I re-reported the pothole on Dean Bridge, this time with measurements and photos, and a couple of days later it's been fixed. The usual blob of asphalt, but better than the nasty hole. There's another, smaller, pothole at the other end of the bridge, but I'm reluctant to report it for fear the fix will be worse than the problem.
