I don't think anyone could have expected how much of the road would be taken away for so long, resulting in fewer lanes, when most of the time, no work actually appears to be taking place. Little effort seems to being made to re-open sections of road when it has been filled in and resurfaced.

To have the work scheduled to last 15 weeks when it is proceeding so slowly is unacceptable.
