The process of road construction usually begins with planning. While road construction methods vary depending on the type of road under construction, here’s a step-by-step guide outlining how roads are made using asphalt and/or concrete. It can take months or years of planning before work can begin depending on the size and type of the envisioned road. This is a complex venture that involves paving, rehabilitation, and/or reclamation of degraded pavements to create a motorable roadway.
