For many (Too many) years we have been neglecting the roads.. Then some electable idiot (Several in fact) came up with the idea of basically band aid.. Let's lay down a couple inches of asphalt instead of doing it right (Replacing the concrete) Makes a really nice smooth road for a very short period of time (Usually just long enough for the governor to say "See how I smoothed the roads. And look at all the money I saved over replacing the concrete"
Kind of like slapping a band aid on a wound when you really need 20 stiches.. (Won't hold long).
Well. finally we are starting to do it right.. But.. alas.. it's going to take a long time.
And when people ask questions like "I"m going to Chicago tomorrow (From Detroit) is there any construction on I-94? Folks that's around 200 miles of freeway
YES THERE IS CONSTRUCTION... There will always be construction for by the time they get it done. its time to do it again.

If you think the roads here are bad, try Alaska! So bad the tow bar bracket on the jeep snapped a bolt off. Fixed and down the road we broke a bilstein shock on the jeep. Hard to dodge the potholes in the rain!

The latest conspiracy theory (that I am just making up) is that the tire companies and the government are in cahoots somehow. The worse the roads are the more tires are needed. Good for the tire companies. Less road maintenance means lower taxes and more incumbents are re-elected. Good for the politicians.
