Digging up another hole for cyclists to get out of?

Quite a photo of a brand new cycling superhighway being dug up by a utility company.
The superhighways are meant to be smooth radial routes for cyclists into the centre of town and there's a trial at the moment of two routes from Morden and Barking.
The actual scheme doesn't start until 19th July and already the diggers are in.
I'm just trying to find out which utility company is responsible - perhaps Thames Water.
What it also shows is Boris Johnson's roadworks permit scheme didn't work here or it couldn't stop the utility company digging up the lane.
That will be no surprise to anyone who drives around London given the amount of roadworks on the streets at the moment.
The photo will also raise all kinds of questions about lack of co-ordination, joined up thinking, how the superhighways will be resurfaced and who's going to pay?
