Widening the Road in a Tropical Country

Thumbnail
This photo was taken in 2009 after a mountain road had been widened. The small layer of soil supporting the diverse tropical rainforest is observable. The road was widened from a single car road to a road that could easily handle two-way traffic and up to three cars in some areas. One can see a single lane in the right of the photo. One of the streams is down the mountain on the right side of the photo.
