Mountain roads can become damaged over time by heavy traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, poor drainage, poor materials, ultraviolet rays, and just plain wear and tear. Plenty of obstacles, such as fallen trees, can block traffic or impede driving. To report problems on our roads, make sure you have a detailed location (address and/or intersection) and can explain the exact problem.
