Roadworks on the Peninsula Link have been a source of frustration for locals, who are now dealing with the added nuisance of construction crews' late-night activities. After a temporary pause during the summer holidays, the roadworks resumed on Sunday, causing further disruption. Residents are not only dealing with lane closures and a reduced speed limit, but they are also being kept awake by the loud music and yelling from the construction sites. One resident, James Oswald, reported being unable to sleep until 3 am due to the noise. This has sparked a debate among locals, with some calling for the workers to be more considerate of their neighbors' peace and quiet. The construction, which began in late July 2025, has faced criticism for its prolonged duration, with similar projects on other roads completing faster, especially those on toll roads. The decision to pause the work during the Christmas and Easter breaks to appease tourists has also been met with resentment from locals, who feel the project has been a long-standing issue that needs to be addressed more efficiently.
