Description

Good Morning BVT!

Last evening we were driving up Pearl Street and were surprised by a loud bang followed by the sound of a deflating tire.

There is a 6+ (and growing) inch lip where road work was unfinished. Our tire is completely gone.

There was NO indication that the road was going to be gravel or that there was any construction in this direction.

When I returned this morning to take a photo, a Mini Cooper hit the same exact spot and blew out one of their tires.

I can understand driving around potholes, but when the entire lane is blocked, there is nothing you can do. This is incredibly dangerous.
