Cotton fabric road stands up well near Gonzales
State highway engineers monitor an experimental 468 foot cotton fabric binding road near Gonzales on Highway 3 opened to traffic after 30 days. Constructed in October 1929 with a crushed flint clay gravel base, it cost $374.29 for the stretch and about $4000 per mile. The fabric acts as a binder similar to cotton in cord tires, helping prevent creeping while the road was packed and surfaced with asphalt and crushed aggregate. Three ounces of cotton per square yard were used at a cost of 0.085 per square yard.
