[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2588953, member: 6281"] The title to this thread is Why are Oklahoma roads so crappy, not How can we improve our road. I never said we are stuck with this situation, I just stated some problems areas. We need to get rid of some highways but the COs don't want to maintain them either. So we need to find 9 times the money if we want roads like TX...fat chance right. We are always striving to better our design. The high number of heavy trucks is also something they didnt foresee 40 years ago. today we design more for that as well. Most of I-40 from OKC to AR has been replaced with newer design and I expect it to be there in good condition for 30 years if not more. (thats all they design for with a concrete pavement). There is simply no way to avoid freeze thaw and its effects at this time other than keeping the cracks and joints sealed which is a night mare in itself with ODOTs skeleton crews. [/QUOTE]
