With the recent road investment, longstanding potholes should be a thing of the past.
Hahahahahaha. [cough]utter bollocks[/cough]
This country has the sort of perfect storm of rubbish weather (which knackers the roads, especially winters where the temperature drifts between about -2 and +1°C), woefully low road maintenance budget linked to a very patchwork approach to fixing things, high traffic volumes and a network of infrastructure largely buried under roads (thus necessitating digging them up every few months) that means it will never have a decent road surface.
I’ve just come back from a week’s road riding in Portugal and for one of the poorest countries in the EU with no real economy to speak of, their roads are brilliant. Perfect tarmac, super grippy, not a ripple in it. Bliss.
