ugh so why dont they dig drainage lines and keep the mud down, and if that many people use it put down some gravel.

Haven't Russians heard of gravel?

Meanwhile in Russia...

This is why Germany lost the war

The 'mud' is actually peat, which usually has a permafrost layer that keeps it firm enough to drive on. With increased temperature from more traffic (engines) and global temperature increase from radiative forcing (global warming), the permafrost line is deeper, resulting in more 'mud'.

Gravel won't work because it will just be absorbed by the peat and drawn downward toward the permafrost line.

I have travelled that road. The worst part is when trucks flip because one side sinks, and the other doesn't.

Thanks for the info, Pete. You would still think transport trucks would opt for another road.

you could swim in this... mud ..thing!!

High speed on the highway !!
