It has taken some getting used to but A605 users through Whittlesey have become familiar with regular updates on the progress of the £32m King’s Dyke crossing.
Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK was appointed by Cambridgeshire County Council to the scheme in Whittlesey.
And they have helped to compile a Facebook crossing page that has attracted more than 1,200 followers.
