This is merely from my own observations. <br /><br />Gravel actually breaks down and turns into dust due to traffic. Some obviously gets pressed down into the road bed. Some gets graded off by snowplowing. Some gets graded during regular maintenance. <br /><br />The recent decades have seen farm implements get larger/heavier while farmers employ ever larger trucks and wagons to haul grain and livestock. This also contributes to the pulverization of gravel into dust which washes away or gets blown away in the wind. For instance, it is not uncommon for me to have a fine coating of black dirt mixed with limestone on my window sills after windy days, and I live in the midst of a small city of 55,000 or so.

I can't imagine the gravel can pack down so tightly that it remains the same height. Or do they totally grade and resurface the road every few years?eBikeADVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893340680681441408noreply@blogger.com
