Our county workers have got it figured out. Job security!!! This has been “fixed” for close to a week now.
Not just a county thing. There are roads all over OK patched up that way.
So they overfill the hole by design, and then you have to drive over the "hump" for a few months, and then one day it gets a dip in the middle of it and it's practically another pothole again. But not even once was the patch actually flat with the rest of the surrounding road.
I can't believe they haven't figured out a better way to patch up roads.

Pretty sure it was Phillips 66 and it was in Tulsa. I was under the impression that it worked well but was probably too "expensive" for them to use it. It's always about the lowest possible bid. The upside is there is perpetual bids that way. Our roads are a joke, a bad one!Back in the 70's and 80's when I watched football there was a commercial about some kind of underlayment sheet to prevent potholes a big company was hawking. I can't remember if it was Dupont or made from plastics or what. They really played it up big showing a big roll being laid down then the asphalt overlay but I never saw or heard of any entity using it.
Anyone here remember this and what it was and better yet, was it effective?
I think they only fixed that because they had no other choice. It was almost condemnable it was so bad. Saw a couple of times that large chunks of pavement fell completely out of it. ETA: I mean ALL THE WAY out of it leaving a hole with daylight.Even some spots in OKC. Back when I had my fancy high performance BMW I would completely avoid the I40 bridge eastbound going over I44. I can understand a side road being a bit iffy until someone gets off their butt to fix it, but a main artery crossing the US???
