Road in ruins * USA - Gardiner portion of Route 24 in sad shape
Gardiner,ME,USA -The Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel, by KEITH EDWARDS -1 April 2009: -- A short drive, or a short conversation with someone who lives there, seems to make at least one thing clear: Long stretches of Route 24 are a wreck... The pavement is crumbling. Orange-and-white barricades have been set up alerting traffic to collapsing shoulders. One stretch near the Gardiner-Richmond line is set off by large "pavement ends" signs on both ends, where state workers used gravel as a temporary repair... Don Larrabee, who lives on the Gardiner end of the state highway, said the road was already in rough shape -- but got much worse during a recent period when dump trucks used the road to haul materials for the upcoming Interstate 295 repaving project... Others say it's not so clear who or what is to blame, other than the ravages of time and weather on an old road not built to current standards in the first place...
