Part of the footpath in Ponte a Serraglio has fallen into the river.
The footpath is now closed, along with the pedestrian bridge. The road between the Granaiola turnoff and the bridge at Ponte a Serraglio is also closed to traffic, but open to pedestrians.
This is obviously going to cause traffic problems. Let’s hope work, which should start soon, will not take too long.
Road works are being carried out between Ponte a Serraglio and La Villa. Old water pipes are being replaced…a necessary thing.
We have a multitude of signs in the piazza at Ponte a Serraglio to let us know where we can go. The road has been reduced to one way, going towards La Villa.
At some times the road is blocked completely.
The other night, a car coming from La Villa ignored the sign and drove through. By the time he got to Ponte there was a line of cars in his way. There was nothing for him to do but reverse all the way to La Villa.
You have to laugh.
You also have to feel for the road workers who have to cope with the coming and going of cars, people and dogs.
All of a sudden it seemed to be over and all the men and equipment left.
…I am expecting a return.
