The roads in Britain are crap....

I have a theory about our road system (don't know about England but I imagine it maybe the same). I think that most of our interstate system was built back in the 60's. That means that the roads have been continuosly and heavily travelled for some forty years now. We can't shut down an entire road to rebuild it all we can do is patch and repave peices of it at a time. The roads will progressively get worse and worse as the foundations and supports begin to wear out over time and traffic gets even heavier. Just wondering if anyone else out there had thought about this too.
An entire road closed for two years? How will you get around.
Here in Kentucky there was one ten-mile stretch of interstate between my home and the next town that was being continually worked on between 1996 and 2003. Seven Years for ten miles!
And the road had a seam down the middle where the two layers of black top met. Seven years for ten-miles of bad road!

Colorado is just as bad. There is one stretch of the interstate (about a mile long) that they have been working on for 3 years.

Doesn't sound much different from Texas. Road closures, traffic jams, accidents working.....it's an epidemic.
