The topography plus the geology/soil make it difficult to make things too permanent, without overbuilding to begin with. That's not even counting the snow/ice/melting snow and salts/chemicals the roads get in the areas that get snow.

Probably just takes a different type of engineering approach (and hopefully not like the type of boneheaded approach used by FIU for their walkway.)

I am a GIS Analyst that works with WVDOT full time. This is the struggle every year. It also doesn't help that everyone settles in the valleys where the water ends up during heavy rain or melting snow. We have been fighting road washouts all spring.
