Why patch a new highway?

I was wondering what happened to our new highway? It looked very good for a while then at the end of the job they put patches all over the place. What happened?

Why did they have to patch a new highway?

I have never noticed this on any other new highways, but I have noticed that it now has rough spots where the patches are and it looks like they will become problem spots very soon.

Is the company that did this job on Hwy. 16 going to come back and repair these bad spots or are the Burns Lake tax payers going to have to upkeep this mess?

I'm very disappointed in the highway work that was done and I'm sure other people feel the same way.
