A section of a $1.5 million road project completed last week by District 2 County Commissioner Don Young is already buckling.

The estimated 30-foot section is part of a 15-mile asphalt overlay that starts on the south side of the El Reno Regional Airport and runs south to Union City and west from the airpark to Heaston.

While failures can happen immediately after asphalt is laid, District 1 Commissioner Phil Carson said generally such issues are minor. Carson said failures are often the result of inadequate road preparation.
