Re: Little too late I guess Michigan was bound to get something right eventually. 
Stop out in the Chicago burbs some time and you'll see what concrete roads look like after 1 winter. Better than asphalt, sure, but still in rouch shape. That may be a special "Italian" blend we use here though.  |

1 edit | LOL @ Mi.
But they've had that for at least 8 years now.
But also concerete is also easier to patch. |

said by jester121:I guess Michigan was bound to get something right eventually. You would think so after the mistakes they have made, but no. What the other poster failed to mention is that this year, all concrete projects are still being redone from the year before. Not only does this mean the roadways but it also means every bridge too.
The year before all the contractors this state hired to rework the bridges and roadways used the wrong type of concrete. It was inferior (more like cheaper for the contractors) for what they were using it for and had to be redone as pieces of the bridges were falling onto motorists vehicles as they passed under less than a month after the projects were completed.
You would think they would have held the contractors responsible for it but nope, they didn't do that either. They got money from the federal level instead, hired the same contractors, and pretty much paid them again to do the same job they should have got right in the first place. Of course this would have all been prevented had the state inspected the work as the projects moved along, but no, they decided to do that after people driving under the bridges got hurt.
So, what did this state get right again?
