Construction on Interstate 40 has closed several exits east of Williams creating an increase in traffic to some side dirt roads in the area, including 51 Road, located just south of I-40. This increase in usage has caused some locals to question who is responsible for the maintenance of this road and when that maintenance will take place. (Loretta Yerian/WGCN)

With road construction on I-40, 51 Road, which runs horizontal to I-40, has seen a steady influx of traffic — more than the dirt road was meant to handle. With this increase, the dirt road has become a mine field of washboards and potholes.
