Traffic is going up JL Sahadewa, motor bikes still can go through Jl Metasti but most are also going up JL Sahadewa.
Looks like they are now finished in Jl Benesari but will confirm later (machinery has gone but not sure if they have filled the hole in yet)
Yes you can still walk along Melasti, you just virtually walk through the 'works' no problem haha. They are only doing a small section at a time. They are heading towards the beach - so i have no idea what will happen when they start on the other side of Sahadewa with the traffic.
Local expats tell us they will probably run out of money to finish it anyway. Pipes being installed are for sewerage, town water and fibre optic cables BUT no one knows where the town water is coming from and there is no facility for fibre optic, and sewerage pipe is only 4 inches in diameter!!! Only in BAli hahhaha
Traffic is getting alittle conjested at times, but reminds me more of when the place was packed with tourist (sometimes quicker walking than taxi)
