"Improved" Road to La Ropa

After having completely dug up the road from Kyoto plaza up almost to the old Blue Mamou building, workers no longer seem to be around and work seems to have ceased. Word on the street is that they "ran out of money and don't have anything left to pay the workers". I don't know if this is true, but I wonder if it may be part of the same thing alluded to by Rob in another message re end-of-term officials cashing in and moving on. Whatever the story, I pity the poor businesses/hotels that are now no longer accessible to their customers.
