PennDOT Does it again.

PennDOT Does it again.

A protective coating PennDOT uses to prevent potholes somehow is creating them, forcing the highway agency to halt its road-sealing program across Allegheny County.

More than 130 miles of county roads might have to wait for a protective "tar and chip" coating, and some of the nearly 20 miles completed must be repaired because of the failure, which PennDOT can't explain.

It's the first time PennDOT has had a problem with the tar-and-chip mixture.

But it's not the first time that PennDOT has screwed up. In February of 2007, drivers were stuck on a road for more than a day after a snowfall that left 50 miles of traffic jammed on Interstate 78. The governor called it "almost total breakdown in communication" among state agencies.

Personally, I think it's amazing that they can leave you stuck in the winter and then fuck your car up in the summer. If only they paid for the automotive repairs that people have to go through.
