A reminder to all those bitching about constant construction. The reason why that road has to be torn up and replaced every year is because it was designed and built with avg vehicle weight in the 80s, and now avg vehicles are way heavier, and road damage increases with like the 4th power of axle weight.

Every time you choose that massive truck over a tiny corolla (Even that is massive nowadays!!) you are forcing everyone to deal with more construction.
