Asphalt roads doesn’t last long, but few cities will put up the money for concrete or other materials. A construction company, VolkerWessels, has revealed plans for plastic roads. They last three times longer than asphalt and can withstand extreme heat and cold, down to minus 40 and up to 176 Fahrenheit. They’re hollow, making it easy to lay down cabling and pipes, and are made of recycled plastic. The company will test them in Rotterdam’s “street lab.” They’ll be on regular roads in Holland in the next three years (God willing and the creek don’t rise).
