Roads in bad shape

I have lived in the Parkersburg area since 1959 and I have never seen our roads and bridges in such horrible condition.

If you go across the toll bridge the Parkersburg side is filled with large cracks and rough areas in the concrete. The bridge itself is a disgrace and should be torn down. If you cross the river on the newest bridge leading into downtown Parkersburg the road coming off the bridge is also a disgrace.

Although I currently live in Belpre I cross both these bridges almost daily and spend quite a few tax dollars in West Virginia. I cannot believe our citizens on both sides of this beautiful river have allowed our politicians to get by with letting our roads deteriorate into such a deplorable state.

In the old days we at least got our roads repaired in an election year, not so anymore.
