This is one of those signs that does rather require a bit of mental maths. The start date is fine, although often self evident that works have started. It's the way of expressing the finish which always seems to be the odd thing. In giving a start date, and a specific finish point then surely it's better to express the finish point as a date too.
It's the "four weeks" that seems like unnecessary mental maths. This is easy enough in this case, but what about longer periods when they straddle months....that can trigger the "how many days in the month" calculation (30 days hath September, April... etc)
That ever more curious as the two things to know here are (a) it's closed and (b) when it will open again.
This is a local footpath across the common and a popular pedestrian route to and from the train station. While it's a proper upgrade, to simply shut it is a real inconvience, and especially so as it seemed to be take so long to do the work. And with the footpath looking a fine as this so much of the time to commuters, it seemed that lots of people were simply continuing to use it....hence the need for a second sign and lots of creative but rather ineffective fence making....
