The Niagara-on-the-Lake Local received the following letter about reconstruction through Virgil.

The reconstruction through Virgil is necessary and welcome and will take time. That is understood. However how that reconstruction is happening is unexpected and very aggravating for drivers passing through.

The state of the temporary roads is unconscionable.

The potholes and bumps and changes in elevation that one has to drive through is a disgrace. No grading of these roads appears to be done, nor supply of gravel provided while the work is proceeding.

Passage needs to be slow, carefully going off track, and damaging to some cars.

Can that grading requirement somehow be imposed on the contractor as soon as possible? PLEASE.
