While winding through Caribbean hillsides I’ve often wondered how they make the roads. I was lucky enough to stumble across a crew and found the general process isn’t so complicated. The crews build wooden braces at the edges of the road to be built and create a foundation of large rocks. Rebar is then placed on top of the rocks and subsequently covered with concrete. Voila, you got your road!
Editor’s Note: I don’t mean to imply that Caribbean road planning and/or building is an easy task to undertake. I just imagined a process more elaborate; evidence of my ignorance in road construction.
