Today, one can easily travel by automobile from one edge of the country to another given the time, patience and resources. Today’s vast roadway infrastructure combined with ever improving automobile manufacturing technology gives motorists of the United States travel options that were unheard of just a few decades ago. Drivers can now navigate thousands of miles on paved roads through rural areas and metropolitan cities with equivalent ease, though such widespread road accessibility has not always been the case. Road building is not by any means a new phenomenon, and can be traced back thousands of years. But the modern techniques and materials used in road construction today have given us safer, more durable roadways capable of enduring increasing traffic and lasting years longer than roads of the past.
