    Then they shouldn’t be using materials that succumb to potholes this quickly.

    We have potholes in Ohio. Mostly caused by salt on the roads, and lack of maintence over the years.

    This road opened on June 5th. Should be no salt. And there hasn’t been years of deterioration.

    If this pavement material is this weak, then it has no right being used here.

        Road builder here. Nope, unless you are being very creative with the term ‘sinkhole’.

        First clue - a sinkhole propagates from UNDER the road, whereas the photos simply show crap asphalt which has been essentially ‘plucked’ out. This suggests either a crappy binder, or it was placed in the rain, or a number of other quality issues.
