Resurfacing.
Roads and runways are regularly resurfaced. If not done properly many problems can come up.
I am sitting less than a mile from an Interstate highway bridge that was resurfaced less than a year ago and it is already a pot holed mess after just 1 winter. Speaking to a cement truck driver who worked on the project I found out his company warned the state problems would occur because of short cuts the general contractor was doing. The state ignored their concerns.
The entire Mass Pike off ramp from the Ted Williams tunnel to Logan airport, hundreds of tons of cement, started floating like a giant bath tub less than a year after it was built because ground water drainage was not built to design. The contractor tried to blaming rising sea levels from global warming forcing the need for a design change until a whisle blower gave away their mistake.
The local list of screw ups is long. The national list must be insanely huge.
Why do people accept blaming a vague evil like global warming instead of accepting that fraud and waste happen on public works projects all the time.
The fact people are getting so angry over this point quite amusing. Thanks for the laugh.
