The lack of preventative care combined with the low quality of repairs is the major cause for our roads being in such poor condition. When will we stop the bandaid approach to road construction. Far too many roads need to be rebuilt not just resurfaced. The utility construction needs to be completed in advance and they need to be held accountable for their poor repairs. We should notify them in advance so they can upgrade all the necessary pipes and lines before the road is rebuilt. Then if there is a problem they own the whole problem, period. We pay the cost of our poor roads in many ways not just in the repair of them. It takes a grave toll on our vehicles and our safety. Lastly we need more bidders in road construction. I find it interesting that the same company gets all the projects. Our neighbors to the north seem to accomplish so much more in so much less time. I remember a time when there was significant infrastructure construction in RI and we had many companies completing the building. I guess we are victims of our own making.
