M2 Upgrade Working Hours

Given the uncertainty about Transurban's position on Kirkham Road Bridge, one whether we should be concerned by the statement that "The standard work hours for the sites would be between 7.00 am to 6.00 pm, Monday to Friday, and 8.00 am to 1.00 pm on Saturdays. For construction activities proposed to be undertaken along the M2 Motorway or accessed via the M2 Motorway, work may be undertaken outside of the standard hours to reduce the overall construction period, providing that the impact on the M2 Motorway capacity does not result in increased traffic on alternate routes. Proposed works such as the Norfolk Tunnel widening would generally extend outside standard hours."

Reading that paragraph with a jaundiced eye one sees that it is carte blanche for them to work 24 hours a day seven days a week, so long as the work "is along the M2 Motorway" and "reduces the overall construction period", and of course that covers the entire project.
