For instance, I've studied old maps showing dirt paths and bridle roads, compared them with modern maps of the same areas and I'm able to match these paths to local paved roads.

As someone living in Poland, that absolutely was the case a few years back. If a highway was built in 2005, it required serious repairs by 2007 and by 2010 it needed to be basically built from scratch... Only recently did they start making roads that will actually last for more than 5 years, which would be funny if not for the fact that per kilometre the highways cost more in Poland- a country that's basically as flat as it gets in Europe- than in Norway.

In India on newer roads, recycled plastic is also being used which not only make roads of better quality and lasts longer but also cut prices up to half
Asphalt is better for roads because it’s far easier to recycle, it never sets, also the pan American highway will never be completed, due to a dense rainforest in Colombia and Venezuela
Indian highways are not built for generations. The flyovers fell during construction or just after inauguration & potholes start appearing after first rain.
@@technodestination4763 I'm talking about my place ,not about random highways in the north.in my State Government reduced the size of the road during re taring citing lack of land.india is a congested and over crowded country,we can't expect good roads everywhere.
G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway has 50 lanes at one point. Yes, 50. Next to a toll ramps. If that counts that is, it's still part of the highway thou
Actually roads are built in such a way that the net carbon emission gets reduced and few places like India they are building elevated roads to save the wildlife and plants are replanted in other areas
This summer they are making 2 lanes into a 4 lane divided highway with turn lanes and frontage roads a few miles from here.I remember when there was hardly any traffic on that road.
"complex digital pointcloud" Ahw thanks but it's not that complicated. All it represents are XYZ coordinates (more dots = more accurate but also slows down the PC) to make a digital surface model. A few clicks and software like Civil 3D (also shown in the video) sorts it all out. Besides a nice 3d model of the design, its helpful to calculate the amount of soil that will be displaced and it allows engineers to design a road in such a way that we minimize soil displacement to save money.
In my country (El Salvador) they were going to build a highway and were deciding if to use asphalt or concrete. Lifetime of the asphalt was 10 years, of concrete was 30. They went with concrete. It only lasted 6 years before the road was in a mess, broken, potholes, uneven, slabs broken in half. I don't know if to save (and steal money) they didn't add the appropriate ingredients to the concrete or what but it was a disaster. What a waste of national tax dollars.
We do have drainage system in our newly built expressways. To start with, we didn't had many expressways in the past apart from the Mumbai pune one. And our eastern and western expressways will be completed by 2040 or 2050, it takes time.
older highways are made with gradient and small ditch alongside roads so water can just washout towards the side ditch. But city roads do have dedicated storm water drainage system at least in my city where flooding was common in the past. Don't have much idea about the other cities.
In hyderabad India (TRS ruled) all roads are being upgraded with storm water drains and underground cable ducts under the strategic road development program. India under modi (BJP) rule is building a record number of expressways and infra projects since 5-6 years. You should educate yourself first before vomiting out your ignorance.

Here in the Philippines, those people who are constructing roads and highways put concrete cement first then followed by asphalt. I don't know why they are doing that.
I'm no engineer. But from what I have heard from a local construction contractor in our city that asphalt used to prolong the life of the concrete underneath. The asphalt for sure will fade away first - potholes will inevitably appear but they're faster and easier to repair than highway grade concrete.
Indian Highway makers- Ooh what's that?? We dont do that here!!! We We make record for fastest construction of highway and It also gets worse as soon as it is built
