I heard on the radio that most of the work will be done this week.
gonna take a hell of a lot more than a week to fix the overall damage, its more like, you NEED to repave all the roads in question now you idiots in office.

Over the last 40 years, the quality of what we generically call asphalt has declined to the point that we now have to add modifiers to get it to work satisfactorily. This is due to several factors - the increased use of Processing Oils in the tire industry to disperse carbon black and other fillers, advancing refinery technology allowing a greater amount of lighter ends to be extracted from the bottom of the barrel of crude thus reducing the quality of liquid asphalt, and a dramatic increase in the number of automobiles and trucks on the road and miles driven.
One of the modifiers used to enhance the performance of liquid asphalt is crumb rubber (ground - up recycled tires). Rubber-modified asphalt dramatically out-performs conventional asphalt and lasts significantly longer. These superior results have been achieved while using less material than is required with conventional asphalt. Rubber-modified asphalt will reduce reflective cracking and rutting, improve skid resistance, reduce maintenance costs, increase pavement life, is more resistant to weathering/aging, and reduces road noise. IN addition to increasing the performance of asphalt, crumb rubber modification has the side benefit of reducing the environmental hazard that old tires present.
Maybe "la belle province" should start looking into producing/importing and using rubberized asphalt.
They can get the rubber from all the busted tires of people running into potholes:
...of course, they'd first have to make sure one of their "friendly" construction companies carries this product and pays the appropriate bribe to win the contract.
Il y a je ne sais combien d'année l'ETS avais présenter une méthode ou produit incroyable pour les route.
Pense tu que le gouvernement ou les entreprise d'ici on même pris 2min pour regarder ?
Ben non on y va encore avec les standard les plus minimum possible et les pire produits.
i say we call mike holmes he will do it right the first time
Ca a aucun bon sens, la japon a eu un tremblement de terre et regardez comment la route est resté belle même après qu'elle se soit éffondrée:
Nous on est tellement cheap qu'on se ramasse avec une trail après 1an.
Arrêtez de dire que c'est le gel / dégel. L'asphalte cappable de survivre a bien pire que ca existe depuis longtemps, c'est juste que ceux qui ont le pouvoir décisionnel en ont rien a foutre parce que patcher, "ca fait la job" et l'asphalte cheap est aussi belle a regarder quand elle vien d'etre posée.
I was watching a highway overpass full of people get hit by that huge tsunami wave carrying houses, cars, boats. All that shit smashed into the overpass, and the overpass was still standing, people were still alive & well on it. Would any of our elevated highways withstand something like that? Would Turcot withstand something like that? I honestly don't think so. Turcot is crumbling from goddamn rain, let alone a 40ft tsunami wave loaded with houses, boats and other projectiles.Bring an 8.9 over here and we're going to watch the city open up under us. Stay in your house? cant go outside because earth quake consumed all roads? How do you think our roads would tough against a tsunami? I'm placing a bet the mercier bridge makes it.
Il faudra quinze jours pour réparer les dizaines de milliers de nids-de-poule qui ont envahi les rues de Montréal au cours de la dernière semaine. Devant l’état lamentable de plusieurs artères, la Ville a lancé lundi ce qui est déjà sa quatrième grande opération de colmatage cet hiver.
Bien hâte de voir ca, d'ici le 1 avril tout devrait être réparer...
