They have done asphalt overlays on that stretch of I-75 within the past 5-10 years, but that is more or less periodic maintenance to rehab the road but its in poor shape again.

Call it an overlay, call it maintenance, call it whatever. They fix the same streets every year or two. Every summer it's orange barrels and delays. I call it bullshit.

It's not bullshit to the DOT's favored contractors, it's just mo' money on the gravy freeway baby.
