Seems to be a common theme everywhere, just close a road or pavement with "cyclist dismount/pedestrians cross" and declare it done. While the drivers don't have to give an inch.
If the pipes are just under the cycle lane, nothing much they can do, but most companies don't try particularly hard. Belfast it is nearly always the same, "we need to do building or whatever work, let's just close the pavement or cycle lane, oh that two lane road with lots of room? don't be silly, not touching that".
Sigh.

Fuck off Thames Water closing the safest cycle route into the West End from N /NE London for months and just sticking up "Cyclist Dismount" signs and thinking that's good enough.
Company can get fresh drinking water to every home in London but can't work out how to keep 3 feet of road open? Total bollocks.
