"Province Exploring New Polymer Additive, Hoping to Prevent Road Ruts:
Transportation Minister David Brazil says the province is exploring a new polymer additive that it hopes will prevent the development of ruts on the province's busiest highways. For years, deep ruts have plagued drivers on stretches of the Trans Canada and Outer Ring Road, causing safety concerns. Brazil says they've tested the mixture on the Trans Labrador Highway, with good results."

I think the rut issue could be addressed by following the same engineering and construction practices as on the mainland. I don't see this rut issue in Nova Scotia and Ontario. I stand to be corrected but I suspect our infrastructure is under-engineered and as a result under-built. Overweight trucks are an issue as well.
