I have explained in previous Reports the principal reasons for damages to Road surface on steep items, as ours, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. For the maintenance of the Coast Road, a distance of 44 miles to Sowkevan, little or no metalling is required, the line being nearly level and thus not subject to surface damage to the same extent as the steep road to gneichong.
On exposed portions of this road, in the cunton Valley, the silt blocking up the mouths of bridges and drains is a source of great trouble. The floods being often insufficient to break through the bar of sand that the sea throws up, the backed-up water in such cases finds out the weak places in the embankments and results in damage.
Lengths of rough stone pitching connect this evil in a measure, but to a considerable extent, the inherent problem persists. It is this propensity that in these cases cannot be left alone, but when attempts are made during the day to clear and repair, more damage is done.
