They seem to be removing the bus contraflow on the East side of
Russell Square so it becomes a normal gyratory. At least that's what it
looked like the interminable roadworks were aimed at last time I was there
last month.

I was there about 12 hours ago. The east side is now two lanes
southbound (open) and two lanes northbound (coned off, but painted and
very nearly ready)

That's pretty much the same as when I was there in April. Fast work, eh?

A similar "three sides round a block" traffic system has recently been
restored to a normal two-way road (again on the east side) in central
Nottingham.
