It fucking sucks, I try and not drive on 84 because of the traffic. I’m struggling to figure out what the state is doing, why cut up a road that you just paved and put concrete blocks in it?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because it's better than cutting up a road that you just paved because you realized that the drainage wasn't actually connected to anything? |

I don't think it has anything to do with drainage. There's no curbing or catchbasins in any of that roadway.

A number of years ago, the state repaved a long section of RT34 in Derby.
Immediately afterward, someone I knew was stuck in traffic on the same part of the road. Traffic was being held up by a state crew marking up parts of the fresh pavement. Since traffic was at a standstill, he was able to ask the road crew why they were marking the road. It seems the contract to pave the road came due before they had a chance to patch bad parts of the road. So, the state had mapped out all the bad spots, and were now coming back to cut up the new pavement to fix the base underneath! Only in CT! |

Here's the reply I received from the District IV Construction Administrative Assistant:
"The concrete pads that are poured are repairs to the concrete pavement that is under the asphalt. Once the concrete repair work is complete the Contractor will pave with asphalt to provide a smooth riding surface. " My question is, why don't you do this before putting the first layer? |

Because DOT Construction Div. does not communicate with DOT Bridge Dept who doesn’t communicate with Highway Maintenance Dept. and so on and so forth.
Add in low bid contractors who are way over booked, and project monies that have to be spent in an allocated time frame regardless if all stages of highway betterment’s have been completed. |

I travel this on my commute to work, as it's already January I guess they don't plan on paving it till the Springtime now? Maybe the snow plows will shave down the concrete to be level with the asphalt by then?

The heaves will gladly raise enough of it to ensure the plows don't miss
