Brutkey

Vestergade, mid-city Aarhus, Denmark. A lovely narrow old street that is, after a few years' trial, being turned permanently into a Quiet Street - cars may drive here, but only slowly, and bikes and pedestrians have priority. The council is planting trees, widening the pavement café and seating spaces, and laying a nice new chessboard-like brick surface. The surface is designed to slow down bikes too. It is the first place in Denmark that is being paved with a Dan Jord RoadPrinter - a Dutch brick paver that rolls out complete stretches of road from a machine, as if you are winding a continuous sheet of paper out from a huge roll of paper. Photo taken with permission - I have turned into one of those Auld Lads who stand there, hands behind my back, watching them at work, fascinated by the process, interrupting them with questions including 'may I take some photos?' This photo: Sun shining. A close-up of the machine seen from the side over Work In Progress metal barricades. A yellow half-timbered café and house opposite us. We can clearly see the bricks being wound like one ready-made carpet out of the machine, slowly falling into place on the flat surface where several men in high-vis yellow gear are at work - laying, sweeping, fixing.
