We should take this time to completely repave the 405

And high traffic areas of the 101.  Some of them are just so rough these days.    With everyone off the road, it should be easy to 100% repave it.

Good luck with that.  It took them near a decade to add one lane.

we should be doing that everywhere, close the 60 and do it from start to finish then close the 10, then the 91

Too bad you're wasting so much money on PR firms.  This might have been a down payment on that repaving you want:

So glad I got the fock out of that sh*tshow.

Truth!

I thought Houston had crap roads until I spent time driving between my former in-laws home in Amherst and their property in the Finger Lakes.

The 90?

I drive the 405 from the 110 to the 105 everyday.  It's not rough at all.

Good idea.

The point has merit, right now is a fantastic time to allow people to get all over the infrastructure.  But it would require some relaxing of the posture toward quarantine.

It would also require money.  The States and localities are not going to have the money to pay for anything for a while.  This a huge financial hit to them.  The taxes on gasoline and diesel to pay for road infrastructure waaaay down.  Of course I guess the Federal government could go deeper into debt.

Agree.  The government has shown a certain openness to increasing debt. But right now materials should be at a great price, the cost to enhance might never be lower.
