Joe,
That may come to be the norm in many states. It would take far more money than this state has just to bring everything back into passable shape. I saw a report on the bridges in the state some time back that Cal Trans did and they rate them 1 to 10 with 10 being great. Over 90% of them were at 4 or below. They said that when they get down to 2, there is danger of collapse. They just spent over a year patching the big Pit River Bridge here that I-5 crosses one arm of Shasta Lake on because it had holes in it so big that small cars had to try to steer around them. Kind of unnerving to drive across it and look down through the road at the lake.
