I remember when it was renamed the Gladys Noon Spellman Parkway after a former congressthing. They must have disliked her.
She had been responsible for getting it paved with asphalt. In the 70s and 80s it was all concrete slabs. You'd drive on it and your car would hit each seam with a nice bang.
It now being 2019, with little or no maintenance, I'd say her accomplishment has reached its sell-by date.
