As the saying goes, to get rich and build roads first, the rise of the rural economy has a lot to do with the construction of rural roads. In recent years, the state has paid more and more attention to the construction of rural infrastructure, highway construction projects are one of them, some experts said that road construction for improving farmers' lives, accelerating economic development has an important significance. Therefore, many farmers also hope that with the support of national policies, rural roads can be built wider and better.
It is reported that since the implementation of the village-to-village communication project, the vast majority of roads in rural areas have been hardened, and roads have basically covered rural areas. However, in our rural areas, there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, most rural roads are cement roads, not asphalt roads. So, why is that? The experts said several aspects of the problem, telling the truth behind it.
First: the cement road stability is strong, the service life is long
Whether it rains or snows, cement roads can be passed normally, while asphalt roads are not necessarily. Under normal circumstances, the stability of cement roads is strong, even if there are often large vehicles passing by, it will not cause large damage to the road surface, and the service life is long. The asphalt road stability is poor, and there is often a phenomenon of cutting corners, the phenomenon of potholes on the road surface is more common, and the mission life is short. Therefore, farmers still feel that it is more durable to build cement roads.
Second: the process of repairing asphalt roads is many and troublesome, and the cement road is more time-saving
As we all know, building asphalt roads requires many processes, and the use of mechanical tools is more, such as road levelers, excavators, large trucks, etc.; while the construction of cement roads does not use large machinery, the demand is relatively single, the repair is more time-saving and labor-saving, and it is easier to meet the needs of farmers.
Third: it is more expensive to build asphalt roads, and it is more economical to build cement roads
Asphalt will definitely be used to build asphalt, and the price of one ton of asphalt on the market is 3500 to 4000 yuan, which is more expensive; and the price of one ton of cement is only 400 to 500 yuan, so the two are more expensive to build asphalt roads.
Fourth: there are many problems in the later maintenance of asphalt roads
At present, the problems often encountered in rural asphalt roads are poor soil quality of the roadbed, insufficient road strength, and often potholes, and these problems will lead to high maintenance costs in the later stage of asphalt roads, compared with cement roads, maintenance needs to spend more money. Therefore, when building roads, it is still more to choose cement roads.
The above four points are the reasons why rural areas only build cement roads and do not want to build asphalt roads, of course, in addition to these four points, it also has a lot to do with the choice of farmers. You know, now the rural road construction is not all the state and the government to pay, in some rural areas, if you want to build roads, in addition to the funds allocated by the government, the village collective will also raise funds from the villagers, and farmers consider the time and cost, often choose to build cement roads.
In fact, whether it is a cement road or an asphalt road, as long as it is built carefully and does not cut corners, it can easily meet the needs of farmers. Of course, the ultimate choice is still in the hands of farmers. Finally, why do most rural areas only build concrete roads and not asphalt roads? Experts explain the truth!
