As noted most town roads are old roadbeds that had some gravel added and then paved. The underlying drainage issues were not addressed hence water gets under, freezes and we get the frost heaves. The solution is not simple repaving but complete reconstruction down to frost line addressing drainage issues. As the cost for complete reconstruction can approach $1 million per mile, a town with 30 or 40 miles of paved roads can take this on only over a long period of time.
With frost what goes up comes back down so by MC week, things will be better. In the mean time, speeding is kept to a minimum.
