Description

Continuing the series. This is also in Woodlot. They began grinding and repaving today for the first time in almost 30 years. Thank you.
However, there are several places in the neighborhood with significant roadbed issues for the entire 25+ years we've been here since building new.
This is at the bottom of the hill on Wooded Way in front of my house. It appears there is some kind of concrete structure under the road and the asphalt has constantly been heaving out, cracking, flaking and uneven Perhaps this has something to do with the storm drains under the roadway leading to the creek which leads to the Middle Patuxent at the rear of the 'hood or maybe something to do with the large silt basin, runoff during the building that was filled in and now is a large open space between our house and the neighbor next to the open space lot.
In any case, my great fear with all of these issues is that if the asphalt is simply ground off and then fresh laid over these spots on Woodlot Road, Wooded Way, Woodnote Lane, it won't even be a year or two and the new pavement will simply peel off like it does on the county roads that used to be gravel and never had a proper roadbed (Homewood, Folly Quarter, Triadelphia, etc.).
