State highway conditions blamed on small crew and poor surfacing
A reader cites Idaho road decay in Bear Lake County noting a four man state crew with two trucks must cover Highway 30 and all state routes. Highway 89 is in especially rough shape due to lack of proper oiling while surface coats come from other projects. The writer urges faster investment to improve tourist routes and overall highway quality before next season.
