dqroundabout12082009Dutch Quarter: -- The Dutch Quarter roundabout was a disastrous area on Wednesday afternoon. Seen in these photos is the amount of water that lodged in the area of the roundabout, which is presently under construction. Several drivers were seen trying to escape the water as they travelled through the dirt path to go over to the French Side. Workmen were also seen on the spot monitoring the water.

You better believe it . I saw it with my own two eyes. Unbeilievable. No outlet for the water to go through. Is it Trick or treat.

So, it doubles up as a swimming pool? Now I understand why the dutch-side roundabouts cost 4 times more than those on the french side!

Well, well well. Then thanks to the rain, because they still have time to rectify what went wrong.
Imagine if they had already completed the works and this happened ?????

the photos are shocking.....but do u think they would rectify it?

I think its highly unlikely because when the guy parked the trucks there they told him that the machine did all the measurement and it was correct....so what will they say now!!!!
