A road is not just a strip of asphalt or concrete, but a harbinger of development in an area. Therefore, road construction must be strong enough to withstand the environmental effects and the surge in traffic influx in the years to come.  Road construction is a time-consuming process that may take years to finish, depending on the distance between the places to connect. It necessitates rigorous planning and evaluation, including environmental and structural analyses, and deployment of several teams of crews and plant equipment.  The purpose of road construction is to serve the connected areas for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, maintenance of the road has become as important as its construction. So, when we look at the lifecycle of road construction, it’s divided into some functional phases which include maintenance as well. We’ll come to that later in this blog, but for now let’s first understand how a road is constructed. The modern road construction process involves the removal of natural impediments as well as the use of new types of building materials that are far more durable and long-lasting. Also, when building a new road, it is critical to create a pavement structure that is extremely well-bonded, beginning with a firm foundation layer and proceeding all the way up to a carefully leveled top course.
