This road was completed in 1823, using McAdam's road techniques, except that the finished road was compacted with a cast iron roller instead of relying on road traffic for compaction. [15] The second American road built using McAdam principles was the Cumberland Road which was 73 miles (117 km) long and was completed in 1830 after five years of ...
The road-surface up to Solapur is black-topped and is motorable throughout the year except for some interruptions during heavy rains. The entire length of the road up to Akkalkot is black-topped beyond which it is water-bound macadam.
Most road surfaces were made up of undressed and unrolled water-bound macadam which did not use tar as a sealant. Under the Local Government Act, 1925 the construction and maintenance of main roads and county roads became the responsibility of local county councils .
The private cars/jeeps are permitted inside the sanctuary. The roads are narrow and made by water bound macadam (WBM), so they are closed in rainy season. [8] The vehicles are permitted up to the Shivrai sada, which is a large open ground with a water pond in the center. The wild animals visit the pond for water during sunrise and sunset.

MD 107 was constructed as a 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) old-bound macadam road by Montgomery County with state aid from Dawsonville to Poolesville between 1916 and 1918 with the purpose of connecting Poolesville and Washington, D.C., with a modern highway.
John Loudon McAdam, 1830, National Gallery, London. John Loudon McAdam (23 September 1756 [1] – 26 November 1836) was a Scottish civil engineer and road-builder. He invented a new process, "macadamisation", for building roads with a smooth hard surface, using controlled materials of mixed particle size and predetermined structure, that would be more durable and less muddy than soil-based tracks.
The road shown in the picture looks to be surfaced with "crusher fines" [1] while true macadam roads are covered with a layer of tessellated (nested and interlocked together by pressure and vibration) homogeneous rock, leaving voids which drain water into the base. The result looks something like this: PXL_20211005_212244099.jpg.
