Channeling of water away from the crown area through construction of lined hillside drain on the road. Removal of debris on the slope and construction of breast wall with adequate weepholes at the toe. Construction of lined drainage upslope and provide p
High weathering of rocks coupled with toe removal by slope cutting for road widening. These highly weathered rocks form weak slope forming material and get saturated by surface water flow from upslope.
