Its a PIMA, but no. About 10 miles of i-70 where i-79 uses it to make a job west, but the northbound side of that, which blew me away, that big 25 mph 290 degree right turn to get on i-70, the one with the 15 foot tall crash barrier on the outside? The corner that killed at least 10 people a year? Yeah, that one, not far from Washington PA. That has finally been replaced with a huge, 75 degree sweeper to the left you could do at 100 mph, standing on pylons about 75 feet tall over everything else. Sweet! But generally, PA's good roads haven't gained any speed increases, stuck at 65 mph by PA. Nobody pays much attention to it as traffic generally stays north of 70 mph, sometimes by another 15 mph. My Toy saw 80 trying to run with them 2 or 3 times. However PA is still building 3 to 4 year roads, cheap as heck, gotta keep all the union road workers off welfare I guess. I have seen potholes in i-79 develop before they get the gear packed up at the end of the job. If I was a PA taxpayer, I'd sue. 20% more per mile will build a 30 year road. How they do it is criminally fraudulent waste of tax dollars IMO. Seems I read someplace where if federal dollars are involved, its a package deal, and you cannot ask for a warranty. In .de land, some of the autobahn is now 60 years old and still in good shape because even if your company is asked to go fill a pothole, one of the things you must do is warrant the fix for 5 years. IOW if that spot fails again, you go back and do it again, gratis. And we are told it costs Germany about 10% more per mile to build that quality of road. Even at 20%, its still one hell of a deal IMO. But, I'm not licensed to run that train... :( Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
