When considering how cars and trucks generate such a large part of the world's greenhouse gas pollution, it's easy to overlook what lies beneath them. But under all that traffic, there are roads. And ...

Concrete and asphalt are the two most common road materials, but their long term costs, durability, and performance differ dramatically. This video breaks down the engineering, environmental impact, ...

Given roads are everywhere and involve some carbon-intensive processes to build, scientists are investigating how alternative materials could make the whole process more sustainable. We've seen how ...

Concrete and asphalt are used to build structures and roads which are engineered to last for decades. Unfortunately, even these materials eventually erode and fall into disrepair. Once these materials ...

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO)-- With road construction season in full swing, Minnesotans have seen plenty of crews on the highways. MnDOT uses one of two pavements -- asphalt or concrete -- which has John from ...
