I would prefer that over here in slovenia.... instead, we can't repave a street without digging a few meters deep, finding ancient roman remains, and delaying the repair for many months... heck, even without finding roman stuff, we had an 800m long road closed for 2 years...

So yeah, it's either potholes or road closure for a year++.

The point is for the road to be better to use.

If it's cheap and fast, then there's no reason to wait to do it "properly" later. Do the quick fix first.
