When I arrived home on Sunday...I looked out my living room window... and saw that the hamlet workers had been busy working on the road that is being built in front of my house. In 2 weeks that I had been travelling... there has been lots of progress on the new road that is being built... The workers never seem to stop... they work well into the night..(even in the dark) dumping and bulldozing it flat!.. Every day the road seems to get a bit closer to the bridge. When the bridge washed out a year ago in June... the current bridge and road were made. When you drive towards town from this side of the bridge--it's REALLY hard to see other cars/trucks etc coming on the one-way-bridge until you are 'almost' ON the bridge.... the road has an 'unsafe' turn after getting off the bridge... So Pang is getting a new road.... that goes in front of my house... not behind it! (hmmm confused yet?!)
Here's a photo of the 'new' road.... they are dumping lots of fill to make the road level...and to fill in all the holes in the tundra I guess....
A shot of my house with the 'new' road in forground(that's what all the rubble is!) (i live in the unit on the left side--only have one floor!)
And I know my nephews Samuel and Benjamin LOVE dump trucks so decided to put photos of the 2 that keep on dumpin' just for THEM!!
This is the view from my house---out towards the Pang Fiord... it's the BIG dump truck!! :)
This also means for the time being I have dust coming from BOTH sides of my house--it's a good thing that I'm not currently keeping my windows open... it's a bit too chilly for that!! :)
