I'm loathe to comment on second hand information, but I understand there was a discussion on Jeffrey (Jeff Lloyd's show on 106.5FM) last week and one of the gentlemen being interviewed indicated that the road works would force a "change in the way of life for people in the area". That was the justification to revert to the old road way.

Not all change is apparently good at the outset.
I wonder what the response would be had government decided it would cause too much inconvenience and change the way of life to improve the roads, and instead they had limited us to one car per family?
In reality, something had to give with with traffic - either redesign some of the bottle necks at interesections like this one or reduce the number of vehicles on the road. The status quo was not working and the daily complaints from and of drivers told that tale.
