Title: South East PA, Pot Hole Capital of the US
Post by: Old Geezer on February 25, 2014, 11:53:13 AM
The have used up all their cones and have turned to orange plastic buckets to mark pot holes, some so deep you only see the top half of the bucket.  Cold patching helps but they can't keep up!

Same here its funny you ride down the road at night even on Class A roads and it feels as if you are on a waffleboarded dirt road and oncoming cars headlights are just a bouncing.. Last week about a half hour south of me that checked and their was 44 inches of frost under the roads.. Frost laws are gonna be on a long long long time prohibiting progress.

The amount of chemicals the highway departments use on the roads guarantees me more work every year! 

The liquid calcium chloride they use now along with the granular is eating our roads up  :-X

Those are a lot like MO roads.  We have been cold and out of salt here (pretty much).
