What is the history of roads?
The construction of roads can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Romans, who built an extensive network of roads throughout their empire. In Europe during the Middle Ages, roads were maintained by the wealthy and were often in poor condition. It wasn't until the Industrial Revolution that significant advancements were made in road construction technology and infrastructure. In the 20th century, the automobile industry led to an increased demand for paved roads, with the construction of highways and interstates. Today, roads continue to be a crucial aspect of transportation infrastructure worldwide.
