Roadwork has come to my front door

It's real noisy in Mister Hans' neighborhood.  

Sledge hammers, diggers, boisterous voices.

 

A drain pipe is being installed in the middle of the street.
  I'm guessing the road in front of my house will eventually be paved.

There was talk some years ago of widening the street into a four lane road.
  Talk of buying and demolishing the houses across the street from me.
  Obviously that's not happening.

I suspect it's a new administration, with new plans and new allocations.
  I'm just glad to see the street being built after ten years of promises.
