Quality of materials used for roads helps to make a difference

To the Editor,With all the road building technology available, why do we have to put up with bad roads and “pot holes!”Canada and parts of Europe have severe winter conditions as we do, but their roads are so much better than ours because they use quality materials and construction. Our road commissions seem to go with the lowest bids and get exactly what they pay for.It may cost more initially, but wouldn’t it save in the end to use better quality materials instead of the constant repairs?!H.
