Move those barrels!

Harkrider Street, friend to roundabouts, is nearing the completion of its facelift. I think.

As you drive south on Harkrider, you can see on your right the section of the road between Oak and Mill streets that's been repaved. I'm not sure of the waiting period between fresh asphalt and free to drive but I'm anxiously awaiting the moving of the barrels.

Now that Donaghey Avenue looks great, the new Harkrider is soon to be unveiled, the only thing left is Prince Street.

I predict a future without potholes! Or at least a few months.

Oh my.

"I predict a future without potholes!"

In your dreams. Even as we speak {write}, the newly paved roads are showing signs of under-attention and over-use = dips, chips and rolls. Horribly poor planning for routine maintenance.

Sorry for the downer. Maybe I just need a nap.

Potholes

Unpublished

The problem with pot holes is they don't do enough to prepare the roadbed before paving and Conway is built in a swamp with a big levy through the middle (traintrack)
That is why downtown floods it has a total hieght above the river level of at most 50ft? And the Craig D. Campbell Lake Conway Reservoir is what about 6 to 8 feet deep on average? I would call that a swamp more than a lake.

Barrels and Roundabouts

The roundabout by Hendrix is nuts. The tunnel barrier obstructs your view (going east/south) and the barrels are in your face as soon as you get through. Almost got taken out there today.

I noticed the same thing the other day. The lane ends and the barrels start immediately following the turn out of the roundabout.
