Here are several possible reasons as I know:
1. Frequent wars
2. The natural environment along the road became worse and worse.
3. The development of economy: ship, train and planes were invented over time and the long Silk Road was not a must road any more. The advanced transportations are more convenient that the Silk Road for all exchanges!
