How's Your Infrastructure?
Watching the news tonight, two stories in, they highlilghted the crumbling infrastructure (mostly roads and bridges) across the country. Having just returned from Minneapolis/St. Paul this weekend (yes, I took the truck, no regrets, Saturday was nasty) I would concede we got problems. Ugly, deep potholes in the lanes of the intracity freeways. Really big potholes, you can drop your front wheel into sized potholes. The problem is doing these roads during the high traffic at speed daytime and early nightime hours. Up north here I do understand the freeze/thaw issues that attack the roads but, how is it where you're at?
Also in Minneapolis the Lowry Street bridge is closed for the next 3 years for replacement. That's good and its not (I used that bridge a lot). they're going to replace it with something modern and thats good and, its not, I liked the old steel grid deck bridge and you could see the Mississippi 3 stories below when you looked down (creepy on two wheels in a fun kind of way).
