Study: Utah’s local roads deteriorating amid declining funds

January 28, 2015 (Salt Lake Tribune)

A new study says that 82 percent of Utah cities and 95 percent of counties report their transportation funding is insufficient, causing half of their roads to deteriorate into their current poor or fair condition.

The Utah Foundation study released Wednesday also said that fixing such poor roads is three to five times more expensive than regular maintenance of good roads, akin to how regular brushing of teeth can prevent a high-cost root canal.
