New Guard Rail Mania

Anyone notice the vast amounts of new guard rails being placed all over the state including here in the Lakes Region?

Some, tearing up good old wood post metal strand guard rails.

Even local back roads.

All should know that guard rails can be ones that have a "rust" patina. And that wood posts can be used.

Where is all of this money coming from for these guard rails?

This is not just a few repairs. This is a massive amount of new guard rails.

Yes, everyone wants safe roadways. But if new guard rails are placed for every dip in the road/shoulder - most of the state would have guard rails.

Why the bright metal ones instead of the more visually subdued rust patina ones - like the ones used up in the Notch area on Route 93.

Where is all of this money coming from? Why now?
