Instead of drowning in heartbreak, he learns from t...

What’s your least favorite roadway in the Bay Area? It could be worth $50: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:08:33 GMT

Q: Around three years ago, I wrote you about the bad (maybe even horrible by now) condition of Highway 87 from Taylor Street to where it joins Highway 85.You said then that repairs were coming in a few months. What they did comes closest to being called Band-Aids, and there were not very many of them. The road is now in even worse shape. Some of the Band-Aids now need Band-Aids. There are many potholes and problems where the pavement adjoins another lane, side by side.Many of these flaws are dangerous and nearly all of them are a supreme embarrassment to our city for visitors to see and experience.Let me ask you again: Are any genuine repairs (new pavement in all lanes and ramps) slated for any time in the 21st century, but hopefully sooner than the turn of yet another century?Donald C. BarnettA: Caltrans reports that pavement repairs will be coming prior to October, 2023. The exact schedule is still needed from the contractor.Q: Why is the southern section of Highway 87 the most ne...
