Letter to the editor: Crack on Niles-Union City overpass

A big crack on Niles-Union City overpass is damaging our vehicles

Driving from Fremont to Union City over the Niles-Union City overpass and vice-versa, all vehicles run over a big crack before coming to Alvarado-Niles Blvd. There is an uneven big crack separating from the concrete slab and it is widening because of heavy traffic 24/7. I come across this site every day and feel a pinch in my heart and pray for my high-cost tires.

If urgent repair work is not done quickly, drivers could suffer heavy maintenance work on their vehicles including brakes, axles, tires and shock absorbers. And mind, these are not like a simple oil change job, but would cost hundreds of dollars.

I request city traffic/safety department officials look into and expedite the repair work on a priority basis, otherwise their negligence would mean major repair work when the crack gets deeper and deeper.
