JessieD,

I work extensively in Mass. CT. NH, but mostly in the Boston area. I have never seen this type of construction in Boston and Ive been there 20 years. The point is, is that it is an unnecessary maintenance issue. Just look at the track record of RIDOT. Complete failed maintenance program, just look at Greenwood Bridge, its filthy and all broken up already. Remember several years ago when DOT installed concrete chatter strips at the off ramp intersections? What happened? They all spaulled out, then they were patched continuously with asphalt until they finally last year dug out all of the concrete and replaced it back with the original asphalt. I reviewed in excess of 600 documentations (along with Jim Hummel) http://hummelreport.org/Stories/11.12.2015.dot.html

and we found numerous code compliance deficiencies that continue to this day. Remember, we pay for it.
