Lovely day again today. An early start with both drones this morning.

Glad to hear that you are having really good weather.

Nice, two in one day.  Can't beat that.

Filming the road works while the road is closed. No traffic to contend with.  They haven't really started yet. No wonder it's going to take 5 months.

Seems like road construction projects are always slow no matter the location.

Doesn't look like much of a road, but it's causing local congestion to have it closed for so long.

Is that a Dutch expression?

It is for sure.

I'm sure it is.  Probably not a lot of ways to detour either.

For heavy traffic it's about a ten mile detour. For cars; if you know the little country lanes, it adds on maybe a mile or two - BUT they're single track farm roads and you risk meeting a farm tractor coming the other way with no room to pass.

Now that is interesting.  What happens when the car and tractor meet with no way to turn around?  Is that a long back up in reverse for somebody?

Usually the car driver - but there are intermittent cut-ins and crossroads, fortunately. If the timing is right, you can dive into one of those. If not............

I would be looking for one of those cut-ins or crossroads at the first opportunity as I abhor driving in reverse for long distances.

Those big farm tractors are not to be argued with

For sure.    Comparing a car against a large tractor....easy win for the tractor.  Contrary to what some people think, size does matter.
