Longterm, is it cheaper to let Caltrans continue to build California freeways to too low a standard,,,or should we have a higher standard of construction that results in freeways running smoother longer, especially with all these longer and heavier trucks ? Look at the German autobans for excellence...and maybe elsewhere, NOT here in California !!
Caltrans has already fumbled and cost all of us California taxpayers at least $6 BILLION DOLLARS, by their direct incompetence in the replacing of the east half of the Bay Bridge. And the Governor Arnold and state govt don't seem to concerned. So how far off leash will we let Caltrans go now,,,and how much MORE is this misplaced trust going to cost us in the future ?
