Plank Road Plan for Virginia Bridge Roads

A Virginia plan proposes laying two parallel 18 inch tracks of hemlock or oak plank on a sand bed with doweled joints and stone insertions to create a smooth road for wagons. The scheme includes elevated stone aids on hills, cross trenches for drainage, and annual maintenance to keep the surface workable in frost. The author argues this could reduce timber use and lower costs while improving travel, addressing high timber prices and regional adoption issues.
