This thread is not directed to the short sighted folk that love deteriorated roads, and wish to limit the tourist traffic that our state is built on. For those of you in that category, there are many other threads on the site to read!

Yah! Looks like my nemisis road RT109 made the list of getting at least some paver shim done if the stimulus money gets approved. Maybe I'll actually get to ride my bike on that road now. It was just plain dangerous with those cracks and heaves. Maybe some of the Classic car tours will come back with a better road. I've noticed a lot of the car clubs have now excluded this drive from the their events calendars. Too bad, seeing as our side of the lake depends on tourists coming through. The Bike week tours were also impacted by the condition of this road, which is designated as a scenic byway in NH. Not sure why this never got approved for Federal funding under that.

Saw the article on the Governor saying that 760 roads, as opposed to only 250 getting some work done to them. Look at the NH DOT website and it show the proposed road improvements.

Looks like a long section of 93, Tilton up to around exit 23 will get over-layed as well.
