Badgers? More on the Road Works

Islay dived into the pet shop by the Blue Boar - she knows Marlene is a soft touch and always gives her biscuits.
"I'm not looking forward to driving home tonight," she said.
"Oh, you mean the road works?" I asked.
"They say they'll be there for another month," she said.
I asked if she knew what was going on.
"They say it's badgers," she said.
"Badgers?!" As far as I can gather, either badgers have undermined the road with their digging, and the road is being stabilised, or the authorities are putting a badger tunnel in under the road for them - or it might be something else entirely.
