Years ago the company that rebuilt the main road through our hometown didn’t match the road to the side streets. The side streets met the road at a point about 3 feet higher than the new road.
When they tore up the old road they neglected to refill it to the right level. I don’t know how they missed it because the curbs went in before repaving and you would think someone would notice the waist high curbs.
They eventually came back and cut the side streets down to the new road grade. It looks kind of odd to this day because the curbs are 3 feet high everywhere but the corners and the side streets have a sharp little hill right at the corner.
In Baltimore, they are building an express toll road parallel to the highway (idiots) It looks like something got really screwed up. Suddenly, a section that appeared done suddenly had huge cranes and equally huge holes dug in the fresh asphalt.
No word on why.
Oh, my. Your description of your town’s main road construction is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!
Please post pictures of the streets in your town or direct us to where we can see them. How long have the streets been like this?
