As it Was Jarvis I can understand there being problems since they took 3 years to build a single carriageway bridge over the A1 a few years ago. During that time I drove past the site twice a day, 5 days a week on my way back and forth to work so am not really surprised at them not getting the recent rail work completed on time.
