It is a council "thing" worldwide apparently. When we were in Oxford, England in 2000 (doing the Beltring thing) the local council were doing major road works in the city centre - at the height of the summer tourist season. The congestion was unbelievable. The locals told us it happens every year.
In Oxford, uni students are banned from having cars, so outside of tourist season the roads are much quieter as the uni students are on push bikes, foot or public transport. The ideal time to do road maintenance one would have thought.
As to Corowa, February would be ideal bitumising weather............ and nicely avoid a hundred or more MVs heading for the airport.
