Concrete is made using aggregate (like crushed rock and sand), along with cement and water. The cement acts as the binder in concrete, holding the aggregate together. As the mixture dries, it forms a stiff, unforgiving solid that is prone to cracking and breaking, especially if the surface beneath it is not perfectly smooth.

Concrete roads are durable and safe.  They are considerably less prone to wear and tear defects like rutting, cracking, stripping, loss of texture, and potholes that can occur with flexible pavement surfaces.

Advantages of Concrete Roadways

• Durability – The most important advantage of a Concrete Road is its service life due to exceptional durability. 
• Comfort – Concrete roads are more comfortable to drive.
• Performance – A concrete road’s surface is better at preventing the vehicles from sliding and skidding. Braking distance is lower on concrete roads rather than on asphalt. Moreover, concrete roads dry out much faster after rain.
• Application – A concrete road can be constructed under almost any climatic condition while asphalt can only be applied at minimum air temperature of 15 °C and only on dry ground.
• Fuel Consumption – A vehicle rolling on a smooth concrete road consumes less fuel. On the other hand, flexibility of the pavement affects fuel consumption as well. Deformations on asphalt pavements left by heavy transport increase rolling resistance.
• Less Pollution – A concrete road consists only of natural materials and is completely environmentally friendly.
• Better Visibility – Concrete roads are safer for driving in low light conditions. Being in brighter color, less light is absorbed which provides a better visibility at night. Reflections are also worth mentioning. Wet concrete road surface reflects less and improves the visibility in rainy weather as well.
• Less Deformation – Concrete roads are capable of withstanding heavier loads with less deformation rather than asphalt.
