Excellent fill at kerb repair site


This is an excellent example of correct fill after kerb repairs and before the bitumen is reinstated.

The hazard to cyclists is reduced because:
- The surface of the fill is compacted well and narrow bike tyres do not sink into the gravel
- The fill height is level to the edge of the bitumen and is also well compacted at the edge
- There is minimal loose gravel in the gutter or on the road

The delay to have the bitumen reinstated here has been lengthy, but the hazard has been minimised with the effort made when filling and compacting the area.

The area may require some maintenance in patches in the event of rain or further delays to reinstate the bitumen, however deterioration will be slower.

Please pass on my thanks to the staff or contractors. I am sure all cyclists are greatful.
