Starting to get sick of all these road works going on around Perth. They just seem to be taking forever.

I know it would take more dollars since the rate of pay would be higher but wouldn`t it make more sense if they could work thru the night as well as the weekends to get the job over and done with?

Would you accept that as a taxpayer???

It doesn't matter what time of the day or night you drive down most major roads in Perth too, its got road works on it, even regional back roads too... its beyond a joke...

I would accept if say that started at the south end of the Kwinana Freeway and up north at the Mitchel freeway end, and did the widening of it all all at once one major roadwork for say 2-3 years and then its done... not resurfacing between the narrows and south terrace in 2016 then doing the same bit of road again in 2017...

The best bit of roadworks by far is the gateway project..
