City under construction

Every summer, Montreal ends up being a construction zone. There are literally orange cones EVERY WHERE! Getting to any place by road, or by sidewalk, ends up being a slow moving maze. Then, suddenly, for the last 2 weeks of July the craziness pauses as all the construction workers have their holiday time. The chaos starts again at the beginning of August and remains a mad rush until September rolls around, in hopes that it is finished before the "back to school" rush.
I thought the construction was bad near where we live but, heading downtown to work today, reminded me that it could be much worse ;) There were orange signs and cones, and more orange signs and cones. Sometimes, it was obvious what was going on. Other times, it just looked like an arbitrary placement of signs and cones.... See what I mean? Welcome to Montreal ;)


Action here

Another detour

Some people couldn't resist fresh cement...

Not sure what this cone is doing...

Can't walk here...
Ummm... not wanting to walk here!

Drive slowly here....
