In the photograph I noticed there's water either side of the road, so I looked it up on a map and it's such a dumb fucking stretch of road. Of course the sea will take it!

Why waste money rebuilding it over and over when they could make an inland road that serves the same route?

Highlighted the road in red for visibility.

    Doesn’t the road there serve as a barrier to protect the rest of the coast line behind it from erosion?

    However, if that were the case why is it not a proper damn? Hmmmm

    That's a natural spit of land (there is another technical term if it has land at both ends I think?). It was there, and flat, so they built the road on it. It wasn't built for the road. (....probably)

    I think I've seen worse potholes than that.
