The last work was 7 years ago believe it or not !! when it went from 3 lanes to 4. That was designed to take a MAXIMUM of 70,000 vehicles a day. Present AVERAGE is 100,000 vehicles a day so it has worn out much faster than planned. It requires the waterproof membrane replacing and a new surface.... unfortunately to replace the membrane they have to take the whole black top off ..
