HPP road work & gravel

[DTisme]

I've noticed they're using more gravel these days on the lateral HPP roads, including ours. I find it nasty -- dusty, dirty and loud -- and worse for tires I'm sure. The last time they put down gravel, they came back with cinder on top of it, but it's been a while since the gravel went down. Does anyone know if this is what's going to happen from now on -- gravel only? I can just see a broken windshield in my future. Plus, my car is now an icky dusty gray.
