The roads are in horrible condition -- potholes, etc -- in the Boston metropolitan area. When I drove from Boston to Texas the roads were generally in pretty bad shape throughout much of the northeast, until one finally got to Tennessee, or thereabouts.Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-25353767410955862722014-03-19T17:38:08.147-05:002014-03-19T17:38:08.147-05:00Decades of deferring and delaying upgrading their ...Decades of deferring and delaying upgrading their infrastructure has a very high price when it can no longer be ignored. Then everything needs to be done at once.

It's one thing to deal with a few farms/farmers when laying pipeline but in urban areas of New England (freeways, highways, malls, homes, industrial sites), it seems like it would be quite a challenge. It's doable, but not as quickly as folks might think. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth.
