What I see is this...we used to have road crews employed by cities..perpetual road maintenance...just scheduling...then along comes privatization...road crews laid off...jobs have to be prioritized...staff for that...then tendered...more staff...companies prepare tenders...more staff....tenders reviewed...staff again...pass by the politician for approval..well a plus they have something to do...finally the job starts and a private corporation makes a profit on a job that was done by a public servant..oh and now we have planned obsolesce... you do the math..so much for our savings...and now we have roads and bridges and much more falling to pieces.

Weather (temperature swings, mostly) is a big culprit.
