Interstate 80 is one of the nations arteries, and it is perpetually under repair. What could Pete do? Have the Fed Govt help states pay for repairs, perhaps? Too bad the railroads got out of the single carload freight business! Now the interstates are trashed from trucks.
Wyoming is considering tolling I-80 to fund repairs. "Potholes appear faster than WYDOT can fix them."
Nebraska is making repairs in Lincoln and will widen I-80 in Omaha from four main lanes each way to six lanes through Omaha between I-480 and 680.
Illinois is planning to reconstruct a 16-mile stretch of I-80 from Ridge Road in Minooka to US-30 in Joliet and New Lenox.
List goes on.
