The sandy area of the new road was hit hard by the rain, but only on the east side, not really affecting traffic. Small diversion channels have been created to get the water off the side of the road and into the ditch. But the ditch has been silting up and may need some repairs in the future.
Besides tight curves, the major problem at the 'lost leg hill' is the next item that has to be addressed. Since the bed rock comes up on both the east and west side near or at the top of the road, it creates a funnel forcing vehicles towards the middle.
The east side of the 'lost leg hill' has been brushed and slightly flattened. It will be extended slightly, maybe 1 or 2 feet to the east. This will allow northern traffic to keep to the right as it goes to the top of the hill.
The top of the hill will slowly be built up over a number of years until the nasty bedrock pointer on the western side becomes covered. It forces south bound traffic into the centre of the road.
