Program looks at ways to expand pavement life in Michigan

No doubt you’ve noticed it when you’re driving — it’s pothole season in Michigan. Whether you’re dodging them on main roads, in neighborhoods or in parking lots, it can be costly. According to a study from the transportation nonprofit TRIP, potholes cost the average Michigan driver about $750 in extra car repairs, or nearly $6 billion statewide. This year might be especially tricky with the recent fluctuating temperatures. What can be done? The association recently launched a new program to explore ways to extend pavement life. Darrell Cass, the chair of the Local Road Research Program, joined Local 4 Live to talk more about the program.
