When I was living there, road signs saying "Steel Plate on Road" were a common sight. I remember the city fixed a water pipe and instead of re-paving the street, they just left several giant 4ft x 8ft steel plates with corresponding sign for over a year.

I live about an hour south of Erie, PA and the road I travel to and from work has needed resurfaced after every winter over the last 3 or 4 years.
