The road outside work is rutted and potholed. There's trucks coming
past all day and night, local residents can't sleep, you have to wonder
how much shaking a building can take before it falls down.

So a letter came from the council that a stretch was going to be
resurfaced, i'm noting from my office window that this is happening,
yet nothing has been dug up.

Is there any danger this will be more than a temporary fix?

I'm guessing not. An educated guess.

On a main road near us, a company is resurfacing large squares of tarmac
surface layer with blacker tarmac-like material.

They have been holding us up for days now, with traffic lights around
each area they resurface. They must have done about 20 to 30 patches so
far.

It doesn't look as if it will last, particularly at the interface
between old and new surface, and the new patches are noticeably bumpier
than the unrepaired areas.
