This document discusses the process of constructing a concrete road. It describes concrete being mixed and loaded onto trucks at a concrete plant. The trucks then deliver the concrete to the road construction site where it is poured in front of a paver that spreads and levels it. Photos show the different stages of mixing, loading, transporting, and pouring the concrete for a new road.
