Route 15/11 north from Moncton to Shediac has a horrible problem with rutting....
It was one of the first divided highways in NB (built to allow all the city dwelling Monctonians to get to Parlee Beach ASAP), and probably was not built to today's specifications.
The soil substrate around Moncton is pretty soft in any event and I don't think they put in enough rock and gravel for the road base. Every time they repave, it only takes a couple of years for the ruts in the wheel tracks to reappear. Hydroplaning is a serious issue (especially in slushy winter weather).
