Making an oil dirt road proves durable with thorough mixing
A detailed method for constructing oil dirt roads includes plowing and harrowing to prepare the surface, applying hot asphaltum oil, dragging to mix, oiling and dragging again, and final rolling. A sand layer is spread before final rolling to prevent slipperiness, creating a waterproof road with good drainage and minimal dust. In Kansas a county saw 15 inches of rain in September without ruts on an oiled road near Shawnee, at a cost of 300 dollars per mile.
