The road was poorly maintained and treacherous until recently, but has now been considerably widened in the process of being paved, and consequently the natural vegetation alongside is heavily destroyed. Ongoing wood extraction for charcoal production, expansion of areas under cultivation, and mining activities for clay, gravel, and metals are threats to the natural habitats in this region.
