South Mountain.. that's it. A small mountain but in bad weather something to think about. <br /> <br />Is that I-78/I-81 STILL in bad shape? UGH! What's going on with you PA folks? I personally witnessed all of the highway between Harrisburg East all the way to Scranton stripped down to bare dirt, repacked and a new interstate built (and relocated in some areas) twice. <br /> <br />That is twice. <br /> <br />Arkansas had bad crumbly concrete. too. We went ahead and stripped down to bare dirt, poured 3 feet of gravel, some concrete in some areas and 2 feet of apshalt on top of that. <br /> <br />Nice smooth ride right now. But 10 years from now I think we will have to rebuild it again. <br /> <br />In history Germany built autobahns that are still in use today on some sections. They know how to build highways. You also dont see Airport runways under repairs either and those airliners are way heavier than we truckers ever will be. <br /> <br />Build em big and strong the first time and have done with it. <br /> <br />I am sorry for a bit of a rant here, but I have seen I think, in the last 16 years sections of our interstate system torn down and rebuilt once or twice. Maybe Im wrong but those schnieder eggs are still in some places 10 years or more.
