Pothole Peril
Monday, February 11th, 2008I’m pretty sure something fell from the undercarriage of my car this weekend as I tried to merge onto the expressway from Bridgeport Road/Erb Street on Saturday afternoon. You know the spot. It’s just as you take the right lane which turns into the on-ramp and takes you to the Lancaster Street exit. The potholes were larger and deeper than any I have ever seen. Truly. You could have lost a small child in there, not to mention something critical to keeping your car running. Consider this your fair warning.
Here’s another free tip. Once you’re actually on the expressway, beware as you try to exit at Frederick Street. The same problem exists there. Seen any bad spots yourself? Too bad the “worst roads” campaign doesn’t start again til fall.
Winter can’t end soon enough, but we have a long construction season ahead.
