Has ODOT gone GREEN?
Want proof? Simply travel any part of US 101 (Oregon Coast Highway) and you will most certainly discover how ODOT has drastically reduced the use of that nasty old (petroleum based) Asphalt.
I always wondered what happened to all that heavy tar used in paving roads after the Sun has turned it to oil and the rain has washed it down the drain.
Holy crap, we don't have just a few stretches of "Rough Surface" as now most of the pavement qualifies. Dang, that is one hell of a Bad Trip!
Part of the degradation is obviously caused by what seems as an unusual amount of geologic movement (rain caused erosion or small quakes) but most is simply caused by a lack of repair and little replacement.
No, it isn't just the whoopee doo's near Beverly Beach, as now its all over.
And, I suspect some areas are bumpy enough to detach a few 5th wheel and travel trailers from their tow vehicles. Can't wait for the heavy tourist season!
Perhaps this may help me understand why Cemex (Cement of Mexico) is buying Asphalt paving companies in the US.
Could it be they expect the Middle East to explode any day and our ability to build and maintain Oil Based roadways will suddenly come to an abrupt halt?
So lets keep hiring those Illegal Aliens who send their spoils back to invest in Mexico (beer and cigarettes) so Cemex can buy more concrete businesses in the US and we can again enjoy and smooth road surface now and then.
P.S. I hope Cemex sells us Real Cement for our roads (like used on bridges) and not that angel cake foam that is so soft it doesn't need expansion joints.
