Road work

I was happy to see that the road near our church has been redone. When I first came out here to visit J (back when we were still dating) the road was in decent condition however over time things changed and it became literally impassible. In the dry season you probably could get a motorbike down it but during the rainy season, even a dirt bike wouldn't work. One thing I always found amusing about that was it seemed to be the worst road in the city...... and it was next to the CAT dealership of all places..... big equipment to fix was parked right next to it.

Anyhow here are some pics of when it was bad and some of what they have done in the last few weeks. There still is some work to be done on the driveway/sideroads but its vastly better than before. 

When the road was bad....

 The only dry way through was over these bricks

 New and improved:

 As you can see on the right some culverts are done but others are not. The road itself though is a vast improvement to the previous road and has really deep ditches which hopefully mean it will last longer in future rainy seasons.
