Mt. Washington Auto Road With an incredible break in this early winter weather we've been able to do some much needed repaving on the lower half of the Auto Road. Over three days earlier this week we paved 1.6 miles of various sections of the Road resulting in a dramatically different road surface. Plan to come check it out next spring!
