Plan to Fix Worst Road Segments with Permanent Fixes

The article argues dividing the road into sections and spending 40000 on permanently fixing the worst five mile stretch. One stretch could improve half to quarter mile of road for most of the year, fixed for fifteen years. Next year funds would fix the next worst section. The Enterprise believes this plan would yield good roads in a few years. Last year the Middle Fork line received some work but funds were insufficient to finish. Future work should focus on thorough completion by addressing the worst pieces first.
