Waterproofing roads for the Washington Weather

ongoing

Washington residents can thank the climate for the lush green foliage, but roads and bridges don’t share their enthusiasm. The wet weather is a bane to the state’s travel infrastructure, plaguing the pavement with perpetual potholes and other problems. The state’s continued population growth (now 7.4 million) also poses challenges, as vehicles crowd the highways, especially in metropolitan areas. With the area’s average annual 90 days of sunshine, there are only brief opportunities for repairs. Making the most of the state’s funding packages (i.e., Connecting Washington, the “Nickel” Funding program, etc.) is imperative in supporting the transportation system and preserving critical infrastructure.
