From today onwards TfL is able to charge utility firms up to £2,500 a day
for working in congested areas and at busy times of the day.

The scheme covers over 200 miles (57 per cent) of the TfL road network,
covering the areas most susceptible to major roadwork disruption.

TfL is not exempt from the rules and the new scheme will also ensure that
their works are delivered with minimal disruption.

So if TfL works overrun, then TfL will be able to charge TfL up to £2500 per
day. That should prove a great incentive!

Someone should charge TfL for their overruns! The recently completed
North Circular Road works at Palmers Green and New Southgate took
three years to complete instead of the six months that would have
been more than adequate. In the USA that scheme would have been
done and dusted within about six weeks.

Can't say I'm surprised. I drive that section on my way to work each day.
I rarely saw any workers there and when there was someone they were usually
just standing around doing **** all.

In most european countries apart from maybe Italy it would have been done
pretty quickly too.
