Non permanent traffic light makes no sense

There is a non permanent traffic light replacing the permanent one on the bridge coming from the city centre on the left hand side on Botley Road (before the left turn into Ferry Hinksey Road). The reason for this is supposed to be work being done on the other side of the road behind the bridge. But there is actually no work being done there. There are some gates on the street which seem to indicate that there is a hole or some digging going on, but when you look properly you see that there is no reason for this as the street is fine and no digging or work being done. When the gates would be removed , the non permanent traffic lights could also be removed and normal traffic could be taken up again. As I reported before this non permanent traffic light when coming from the city centre is dangerous for cyclists and it would really help if this could be removed.

I reported this issue now lots of times (seems that they remove the report after a certain time so that you have to report it again). But nobody seems to do anything even though they tell me that they are investigating. I don't think that anyone does any investigating. If someone could just remove the remnants of the long finished work on one side of the road, the non permanent traffic light could be removed and the permanent one could be put in service again. It would be great if someone could just be send there to take a look at it.
