Is it just me or are the pot holes worse this year then in the past. All over New York and Long Island you can not avoid them on the roads they are everywhere even side streets.
Some reports of broken axles, etc. Apparently Albany City and Albany County are resistant to complaints, totally distance themselves from any sort of compensation and slow to repair the roads.
they do a horrible job and the hole comes back very quickly
In the winter months repair crews are mostly limited to applying cold patch to potholes, and cold patch doesn’t last long. Hot patch is a more permant repair, but it requires th pavement you’re patching to be warm. Generally they come back in the spring to make permanent hot patch repairs.
There is a method of applying hot patch in the winter, but it requires heating the road with an infrared heating system, which is expensive. It also can’t be used in wet conditions or in extreme cold.

Potholes in my lawn
DOVE:
Everybody's sayin'
What to do when suckin' lunatics start diggin' and chewin'
They don't know that the Soul don't go for that
Potholes in my lawn
And that goes for my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don't ask for maximum security
But my dwellin' is swellin'
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new 'mot'
But now it's gone
There's no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognise that every time I'm writin'
It's gone
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
POS:
I've found that it's not wise
To leave my garden untended
'Cause eyes have now pardoned all laws of privacy
Even paws are after my writer
See, I've found that everyone's sayin'
What to do when suckers are preyin'
On my well-guarded spreadsheets
Oh why, hell does it send up fleets
Of evil-doers through the big hole
To get to evil-doers who dig holes
Which leaves my lawn with lawn-chew
I think I'd better plant traces to give clues
Or better yet call 911
And when they get here I inform them I'm the Plug One
Open a chair and let them realize the reason
For concern of the Soul,
'Cause we've come down with a case of potholes

DOVE:
Now you got the message
What to do when you die
The death that I predict in 'Plug Tunin'
It's a shame that you deny to claim
That you stole my words of fame
That I wrote in my rhyme sheet

I don't ask for a barbed wire fence, B
But my dwellin' is swellin'
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall

Suckers knew that I hate
To recoginse that every time I'm writin'

a couple of brothers whose net worth is approaching billionaire status. They made their money creating and selling machines that repair roads.
You could make way more money than they have if you could create a superior MATERIAL to asphalt/concrete for road surfaces. One that is low-cost to acquire, which resists damage, and self-heals.
Seems like a tall order, but that's why the solution would set your family up for a dozen generations or so.
Going from 62 to 40 degree highs the next 24 hours, then 40 and w/ likely showers or rain thru Sunday.
Monday/ Tuesday will be pothole potential in the making, maybe even deep and wide enough to plant a garden.
Is fucking awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is one at exit 17 heading west that is in the same exact spot every single winter and they do not fill it until May. Also the other day I was on it 11 in the morning and it was stand still traffic from exit 13 to exit 19 why because they had two lanes blocked because they were power washing the concrete underpasss. How about filling the goddam holes smh!!!!!!!

Well, get crackin!
And don’t take all day on that, cause we got some other stuff we want: cell phone batteries that will go days between charges. A big ass SUV than runs on electricity, has a 500 mike range, and can be charged in under 5 minutes. A cure for cancer. And free, unlimited power that’s earth friendly.
than the BQE? As far back as I can remember that was an atrocious road.
The BQE is by far the worst roadway I've ever been on in my life in terms of potholes and just general disrepair of the road. I imagined this is what driving down those bombed out roads in Syria must be like.
I don't know if those roads will ever be in good shape. Cross Bronx sticks in memory as almost as bad as BQE. But I'm grateful to live in NY state. I can be over the border in 10 minutes and the roads in PA are horrible all the time and especially in pothole season. I don't need the "welcome to PA" sign. I can feel the love in my suspension.
It’s exacerbated by declining road construction funds. Roads are going longer between repaving.
