This doesn’t appear to be an asphalt installation problem but a subgrade material compaction issue. Had there been an issue with just the asphalt, the road base underneath would not have collapsed leaving the rut. Hopefully the issue has been corrected and all is well.

100% the contractors fault. Asphalt paving isn’t complicated. It only gets complicated if you don’t know what you are doing or you cut corners. Hope the fix works better than the Beulah Road nightmare.

@yellarhammer If that were the case every road in Escambia county would look the same way. I have experience with threshold inspectors and I guarantee this was a combination of substandard workmanship and uneducated (read lazy) inspectors.

The asphalt was installed under specifications provided by county engineers. Probably was a cheap short cut don’t blame contractor they where following guidelines lines.

So now we have a brand new road that has been patched up in less than 6 months. Really sounds like we spent our money wisely this time!!!!

I feel confident this 2 day fix will hold up for the next 18 years.

Frankly, I don’t see how you can repair something that you do not know the cause???

Someone may have jumped the gun to look good politically…

Still do not know why, then someone may be repairing it again…
