Dear editor:

The major reconstruction work being done through Virgil is necessary and welcome and will take time.

That is understood.

However, how that reconstruction is happening is unexpected and aggravating for drivers passing through.

The state of the temporary roads is unconscionable.

The potholes and bumps and changes in elevation that one has to drive through are a disgrace.

Passage needs to be slow and the road can be damaging to some cars.

No grading of these roads appears to be done, nor supply of gravel provided while the work is proceeding.

Can that requirement somehow be imposed on the contractor as soon as possible, please?
