Calif. roads some of the poorest in the nation
By Kurt Snibbe, San Jose Mercury News
The governor’s office said damage to roads in the first two months of 2017 will cost $595 million to repair. That is a small portion of the more than $137 billion the state needs to repair its crumbling transportation infrastructure.
California is trying to climb out of a deep pothole regarding repairing its roads.
The gas tax that supports maintaining its roads is one of the highest in the nation, but California’s highways, freeways and city roads are constantly rated some of the worst in the nation.
Recent storms across the state have wrecked more than 350 roads.
