NEW FAIRFIELD, CONN. — As car after car is jolted by cracked asphalt
on a less-than-1-mile stretch of road connecting Route 39 to the New
York border, it becomes clear why state transportation officials grade
the pavement of this winding western Connecticut road as being in poor
condition.
Edges of the two-lane road — where a sign says Col.
Henry Ludington passed by in 1777 to repel "British raiders" — are worn
and recessed, allowing rainwater to pool.
Connecticut has the
nation's second-highest percentage of major roads — 48%, or 1,268 miles —
with pavement in "poor" condition, and 25 other states have 20% or more
in such condition, according to an exclusive analysis of the Federal
Highway Administration's (FHWA) most recent data by transportation
research group TRIP and USA TODAY.
And yet my taxes keep rising, where is the money?
