Newtown Bee staff photos taken for the November 14, 2014, print edition.

This section of Platts Hill Road, which lies between that road’s intersections with Beaver Dam Road and White Oak Farm Road, illustrates the “delamination” problem that the surfaces of some local roads have been experiencing during past several years. When delamination occurs, portions of the topmost layer of asphalt wear down prematurely, eroding away from the underlying base layer of asphalt, re-sulting in a mottled, rough, irregular road surface. The road section shown was paved within the past decade. (Gorosko photo)
