The three travelers walked along the long abandoned mountainside road;
which
was in severe disrepair, composed of cracks and crevices with small
patches
of uneven-road in-between.  Their path was bounded on the right by a
guardrail, heavily twisted and missing several long sections,
overlooking
a
deep valley.


    Not sure you want that semi-colon there; it might go better placed
between 'disrepair' and 'composed' (not sure about that).

Someone else suggested a colon in the same place.  My poor colon, comma,
and
semi-colon skills are shining brightly.  Although my natural inclination
is
to agree with your suggested placement, I wonder if someone else might
pipe
up?


    Sir! Piping up, Sir!

    Properly punctuated and using slightly better grammar, it would be:

The three travelers walked along a long-abandoned mountainside road, which
was in severe disrepair.  It was mainly composed of cracks and crevices,
with small patches of uneven pavement in-between.  Their path was bounded on
the right by a guardrail that was heavily twisted and missing several long
sections, and overlooked a deep valley.
