It must have been really frustrating to deal with all that dust and traffic disruption right in front of your house. Road work always seems simple from the outside, but it can really affect daily life when it is happening so close by. I have experienced something similar in my area, and even short trips became stressful. Hopefully, the new pipes will improve things in the long run. The way the delta excavator is working shows how big machines can speed up the job, even if the process feels messy for a while.
