bigherb Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Not Stack,but local TAP, plus the traffic light controlled new contra flow , in Gasoline Alley (Snargate St.). Thanks I'll use the old road or come down the A2. It's a PITA doing 40 along there anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigherb Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Stack is generally much further up the M20, between Jct 8 and 9. In the afternoons, you'll see similar numbers of lorries at Cheriton. Yes I know it affects my journey down the M20, that's why I asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If,, you can put up with the 40 mph limit,when you reach the Megger roundabout,turn left, go up South Military Rd hill,down the other side,onto York St, it will cut out Snaregate St roadworks, it will put you at the roundabout,bottom of the "old road". You will not be in the traffic jams of the old road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Who forgot to put the main camera in the bag ? So, these are the 2nd rate ones, from the iPad only, today. Yellow rig appears to be sorting a pile hole out. Their starting to backfill the excavation on the groyne today. That's it. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I went down the A2 in the end, makes it a bit easier to get to White Cliffs if the trucks block the exit into Maison Due you have to go up the viaduct to the Duke of York anyway.

runs as required Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Following on from the above question: What is a groyne - as in "backfilling of groyne" mentioned above. I thought a groyne projected out from the coastline to break-up beach erosion, but don't see any along this stretch of beach. dh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Following on from the above question: What is a groyne - as in "backfilling of groyne" mentioned above. I thought a groyne projected out from the coastline to break-up beach erosion, but don't see any along this stretch of beach. dh It's usually a structure that runs from beach top to low tide level and beyond, normally at right angles to the beach, and reduces the effect of long-shore drift. There was one visible in some of the early photos, but it seems to have been buried- it was made of metal uprights (perhaps old rail) and rather rotten wooden planks between them.

David Todd Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Any idea what the excavation and backfilling was all about behind the sea wall at the tunnel mouths? TIA Apart from layering it centimeter by centimeter, not a clue. This section in front of the tunnel mouths, in the video,was not shewn as pile driven, nor part of raft No.1. 90 % of today's action, was driving the two pile hole encasement's, for the end of raft No.1.
