However, the berm along the highway is adequate to allow a bicyclist to escape imminent danger should s/he be horribly foolish enough to attempt to ride it. <br /><br />Also only the section of US70 in Wilson county was resurfaced. TDOT grooved US70 (e.g. feathered the edge) in Dekalb County without resurfacing it.Tom_Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103712739396207656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858936825205287587.post-81536160438246470192010-11-10T07:14:50.317-06:002010-11-10T07:14:50.317-06:00Interesting Tom.

Sounds like TDOT missed an opportunity to improve things.Pat Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573077188541811143noreply@blogger.com
