GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:camino de todo tiempo
English translation:All weather road

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Government / Politics / human development planning
Spanish term or phrase: camino de todo tiempo
Context: Nicaraguan plan/policy proposal for human development, specifically an explanation of the causes of the current inadequacy of the road network/system.

Source text w/phrase in question between **: "Por último cabe destacar la destrucción de 500 kilómetros de **camino de todo tiempo**, puentes y alcantarillas, recientemente ocasionada por el huracán Félix, en la RAAN."

This would be "a full time road" ? I've never heard of such a thing! Google not much help either. (fyi: target audience is U.S. English, and should be well versed in the context field of gov't/politics/human development, etc...)

year-round road (service)


Explanation:
In this context of roads, "todo tiempo" may mean "todo EL tiempo," i.e., the road can be used all-year-long. Apparently, seasonal roads are not uncommon in high sierra communities in the US (as the hits below clearly suggest).
