Road construction is a critical infrastructural element that fuels economic growth and enhances connectivity. In this blog post, we will delve into the step-by-step processes involved in constructing roads, focusing on the two primary materials used: concrete and asphalt. We will also explore how these processes differ across Nigeria, the UK, America, and Canada, considering local materials, climatic conditions, and engineering practices. Understanding Road Types and Materials Before we dive into the construction processes, it is essential to understand the types of roads and the materials involved: Types of Roads: Highways: Major roads designed for fast traffic. Local Roads: Smaller roads serving residential areas. Access Roads: Roads that provide access to properties and facilities. Materials: Concrete: A durable material made from cement, aggregates, and water, often used for highways and urban roads due to its longevity. Asphalt: A flexible material made from bitumen and...
