The author, a university professor of highway engineering, provides a comprehensive overview of best practices for rural road construction.

He then proceeds to provide detailed guidance on surveying and grading, drainage, the selection of surfacing materials, and maintenance techniques. The author emphasizes the importance of proper drainage and road shape to ensure that surfaces remain useable even during wet weather and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The book provides guidance for every level of road construction and maintenance, from basic earthwork to more advanced techniques such as bituminous surfacing. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for highway engineers, road supervisors, and anyone charged with the upkeep of rural roads.
