***That figures. Wonder where all our hwy money has really gone?***Back in 1964, I worked on my first construction job, four miles of dirt road to be paved.

I did not understand why they would get the gravel bed perfect for paving then use a road grader to pile it up and do it again. the road was finished after a year and began to break up in two years.

A few years ago the company I worked for hired a construction firm to build some water canals and a pump station. For three months all they did was push a pile of gravel from one spot to another before they began digging the canals.
