Automatic Tests Show Wider Highway Tendency in Road Building
The Bureau of Public Roads at Arlington Experiment Station conducts tests on rock and gravel durability for concrete roads. About six test sections use various gravels and sands, traversed thousands of times by a machine to assess wear. Results may allow local materials once deemed unsuitable to be used, potentially cutting import needs for stone, gravel, or sand. The study notes trends toward wider roads correlating with rising traffic, with 25 percent of mileage over 16 feet wide and 7 percent at 24 feet or wider.
