Once again the state of NH looks to be wasting money paving over roads that are in far better shape then other state roads that have long been in need of a face lift.
Rt11 has been in the process of being skimmed over this week, while Rt107 which for over 11 years now has been in far worse shape. At one point the Gilmanton FD stated it was a hazard to drive over when responding to calls.
Does anyone have any idea why they do this?

Just after the stimulus money came out a few years ago they also paved a perfectly good Rt106 from Concord to the trace track while other heavily traveled roads sat untouched. They did re-coat from Laconia to Meredith which really was in bad shape though.
It really seems like our states decision makers have no idea what they are doing and where the priorities should lay.

Is this another case of just spend the money before the end of the year or loos it?
