Well this needs doing, so I guess I cannot complain. This #bike path was built almost twenty years ago, but right from completion something was not right. Even though the pathway is flat and level, it started oddly slumping, large cracks in the asphalt appeared and kept growing bigger and bigger. Even though it was built with about 4 inches of asphalt (10 cm) on top of 18 inches of gravel (45 cm), some of the crevices that appeared were over 2 ft (60 cm) deep. Many fillers and patches were applied, but they all cracked as well. Now they have torn the whole thing up and will hopefully fix it.
