Only if the foundations are bad and the road surface is not rated for the axle load of the vehicles that drive on it. I live in Norway where it is hovering around freezing just now. The only places where this affects the road is where water has penetrated the foundations in such a way as to wash away some support or where heavy vehicles have cracked the road surface allowing water in which subsequently freezes. If the road is properly constructed and maintained with sufficiently good drainage on both sides frost heave (telehiv in Norwegian) should not be a problem.
- Filligree 3y agoI grew up in Northern Norway, and pretty clearly there are a lot of roads with telehiv. ;-) You're probably right about foundation quality. But there sure are a lot of roads that didn't get that right.
