Cheaper and Better Roads Advocate Concrete Pavements
Civil engineers in America champion concrete roads with 40 000 miles laid in the United States and growing in Britain. The article argues concrete and bituminous roads cost less long term than macadam, citing cost comparisons and a Brisbane case study where concrete reduced maintenance by over £1200 in four years. It notes NSW spends about £1,000,000 yearly on upkeep and argues for a state program to build durable roads like the Lincoln highway.
