There is so much road construction and maintenance on the water a sewer lines this year it makes one wonder where all the monies are coming from. Just this past week or so in the short distance from this largish hole in about the middle of Sandbanks Rd down to the intersection of School Rd. [1/2 Km]there have been 3 other diggings to repair/replace pipes.
The round man hole goes to the sewer line, if memories serves that was in danger of falling during the big dig this past winter when the water line broke near the valve.
The picture below shows what the hole ended up like, not sure what the hold up is getting it finished but it will make it easier turning off the valve on the water main next time there is a broken or frozen pipe. The man hole covers the valve, before it was just a length of steel rod going down covered by some insulation. 
This morning they are digging at the 'Puff In snack' store [beer store], lot of stuff on the go that is for sure.
The picture of the plane taking off is just because.

Maybe Voisey's royalities
Lets hope it all gets finished before the winter weather sets in.
Our main street in town has been under construction for the past 2 years. Widening, putting a concrete bit down the middle, laying water and sewers etc etc, I'll be glad when it's done. If ever.
All the public works are for the betterment of modern life I guess. Thing is up here it almost never returns to anything like before it was dug up. Lot of water course changes, landscaping a natural process.
I think I would stick to the narrow roads we have, widening and middle strips would look so urban, not that there is anything wrong with urban, as long as I am not in the middle of it.
I liked our main road better before all this "modernisation" started.
off topic...did you notice Makkovik is in high resolution on Google Earth now?
Wow, nice shot.
The fog must have been thick when it passed over Nain.
