Abstract

The article discusses the peculiarities of construction of highways in difficult relief conditions, the expected dangers affecting the environment and the highway, which arise in case of opening the slopes on the terrain on the side of the road. The measures are presented, if they are taken into account, the reliability of roads increases and the scale of negative impact on the environment during its construction and operation is significantly reduced.
