The layman looks at the hillside and says I dunno looks pretty steep...
See how the dirt washed down the hill by that light rain last night...
I'd hate to see it in a heay rain with saturated soil...

Yep us laymen get to drive around the detour after the hill slides down across the road.
Damn engineers they screw everything up...
