Also. 95 was repaved in PA in Delco last year. And it looks horrendous. Already. Trash everywhere. The shoulder of 95 between the Blue Route and Rt 322 in Upper Chichester is a continuous line of trash and debris. End to end trash.

Brown, I travel from Delaware to Philly every week, 95 from the border thru the airport is the best looking it has ever been, 10 years ago it was a mess with damaged infrastructure and bad roads especially thru the Chester section which is already a bottleneck, it's been improving over the past decade.
Also Cardeza is not wrong the reason why 95 and other roads in Delaware and NJ are better is because of the Tolls, you gotta think, the tolls bring in an extra dollar amount every year to fund the highway plus more, and allows more money to be spent elsewhere.
Also we cannot compare Jersey or Delaware to the Philly Metro.
The Philly Metro has millions in movement in a single day, A SINGLE DAY. The Upkeep required to keep things in order is very very EXPENSIVE, and PA has funding issues across the board especially in Philly a city thats just now getting on it's feet after decades of loss and disinvestment.
Lets look at it this way, the Reason Center City stays clean even though it's the busiest part is because another entity pours the resources into upkeep, those CCD workers, & City Workers that are out there around the clock keeping Center City in order.
So it's simple, you want more upkeep we need more FUNDING
