Sorry I was thinking a few notches above you.

In many cases the road bed needs to be redone. Ever see a rough road get repaved and a year or two later, it's no better than it was? Road bed.

Another thing, some engineer...somewhere, decides to use pavement that absorbs water to help with run off, decrease hydro-planing, etc. Great idea. What does it do here in the winter? What does salt do to snow and ice? where does that melted snow and ice go? what happens at -20? what does water do when it freezes? In the end, the water gets absorbed, refreezes, expands, and blows the road up.

get it now? Perfectly fine road bed and an otherwise nice and smooth road with the wrong pavement put on it might as well be fulla holes. Maintenance won't prevent it, it was a stupid stupid decision by some idiot being cheap, who did nothing more than cause a lot of cracked windshields, dented hoods, and a complete repaving job to fix his or her foul up.

I'll spare ya from the multi-million dollar f-ups where interchanges are concerned
