Why is it so expensive and is there an alternative out there that won’t break so easily especially in the winter? My state is spending like a billion dollars a year on roads that they’ll probably have to fix in 5 years, it really seems like a huge waste of money.
Good Public transportation would fix a lot of these costs I know but what other road materials/solutions are out there?
Thank you for the answers and for putting up with my follow up questions. I’m learning a lot!
Where I live they “fix” potholes by placing down large steel plates. If it were up to the Department of Transportation they’d probably just replace all roads with steel plate so they wouldn’t have to repave the roads.
They do that here on side streets but our highways are non stop pot holes at the moment. I’d love some steel plates on the highways.
