Thread: Worst stretch of road for potholes.

  1. #1

    Default Worst stretch of road for potholes.

    What is the worst stretch of road you drive on in OKC metro for potholes. I have to say MacArthur from 29th to airport road is the worst. They have filled it in so many times and with the recent rains it's even worse now. You would think being a major road to the FAA airport center they would fix it up a little bit.

    I'll nominate the EB and WB I-40 bridges over I-40. They're supposedly being fixed, but that sh*t is just ridiculous and has been for a long, long time.

    Agree, this stretch is terrible, dodging the holes is quite dangerous.

    89th between Sunnyland and Sooner.

    They "repaved" 89th but it wont last. They scraped up the pothole road and then slapped another layer on top of the same dirt without doing any better work below the asphalt. So they just repeated the same mistake and will thus cause it to come back in short term. The amount of dirt they had to push aside when they scraped the road should have told them something. Then they just piled that dirt in the drainage ditches on the side, filling them up.

    I swear, the city hires dumb and dumber for most of their road projects.

    That's not nearly as bad as the stretch of Western between Wilshire and 122nd, although not sure if "potholes" are the name for the entire right lane on each side being patches on patches on patches on patches, a bunch of which are failing.

    NW 30th between Walker and Penn is horrible.

    Britton between Broadway Extension and Penn has quite a few. There's a particularly bad one in the left lane, westbound, between McKinley and Waverly. I didn't see it until it was too late yesterday, hit it, and it busted one of my tires.

    Sara Rd. between Hefner and Wilshire isn't fun, particularly between Britton and Wilshire.

    Not the worst in the way of potholes, but bumpiness (is that a word) overall, I nominate the intersection of NW 63rd and Classen and going east and west 500' or so. It's amazing to me with the thousands of people that work in that area that this intersection hasn't been redone.

    Maybe not the worst , but it's has to be close, is Luther Road between 23rd St north to the town of Luther.
    The turnpike construction has made eastern OK county roads a real mess.
