The bodge in the culvert roof is exactly where they are digging and was discovered back in 2005. See the pictures at http:sisman.netculverts.htm

Maybe they will now stop the overweight contintental lorrys coming through the town. It is well known the culvert brickwork is in a poor condition and has been for years, indeed there was a hole in its roof near here, bodged up by CCCs contractors using an old roadsign. Now we'll have to wait months for repairs to be carried out.
